New facility will replace 50-year-old hospital


The Virginia Commonwealth University Health System is building the new Virginia Treatment Center for Children (VTCC) pediatric psychiatric facility in Richmond to replace the current 50-year-old hospital, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.

The new facility was designed with patient areas that meet the age-specific needs of children and adolescents as well as the needs of families.

The 32-bed facility will be almost 120,000 square feet and will house inpatient units, outpatient behavioral health office, a Children’s Mental Health Resource Center and the Commonwealth Institute for Child and Family Studies.

VTCC provides services for children and adolescents with mental health issues ranging from depression and ADD/ADHD to anxiety, autism spectrum disorder and behavioral problems.
