Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Expansion

The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts expansion added 100,000 square feet of new space to the existing 240,000 square foot museum in Richmond, Virginia. H&A’s engineering team provided renovation services for the expansion to the existing building, including a separate five-level parking structure. The gallery space for the collections and temporary exhibitions grew by nearly 50 percent, allowing visitors to circulate easily throughout the galleries. This significant building expansion connects several building additions with a large atrium connecting a new building containing galleries, food service, offices and support areas.
