Challenge: VCU Health Systems identified an under-used, open-air exterior patio on the 5th floor of the main hospital adjacent to the connector between Main Hospital and the new Critical Care Tower.

Client Ask: Create a new physician/ faculty dining room and lounge.

Solution: The space is conceived as a multi-purpose room with one large event space divided into 3 distinct smaller spaces. Moveable partitions created space for the Medical Executive Board Meeting, smaller dining rooms, physicians credentialing, a small serving area for breakfast and lunch, and informal meeting space for medical and academic colleagues. The facility is approximately 4,000 sq. ft. and features generous day lighting controlled by motorized window shades, concealed AV equipment and warm, modern, and durable furniture/ finishes.
