VCU Health recently opened its Adult Outpatient Pavilion. The new 17-story building is located on the MCV campus in Richmond, Virginia. The 615,000-square foot facility consolidates under one roof 26 specialties previously housed across the MCV campus. These specialties — such as urology, orthopedics and OB/GYN — were located at VCU Health’s Ambulatory Care Center, North Hospital and Nelson Clinic.

VCU Massey Cancer Center occupies six floors of the new pavilion, offering cancer patients comfort, convenience, and new technology, including a new MRI-guided linear accelerator.

The pavilion features waiting rooms with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as original artwork and nature photography span entire walls in our atriums. Ceiling panels in imaging and diagnostic exam rooms feature views of starry skies, cherry blossom trees and clouds.

Patients anxious about finding the way to a doctor's office, searching for parking, or walking for prescriptions or lab work will find these tasks a thing of the past. The designers’ core strategy involved making the pavilion easy to find and navigate.

The Adult Outpatient Pavilion will serve about 200,000 patients annually, with the ability to expand services over time.
