The Road to Welcome: Your New Home for Outpatient Care in Richmond

VCU Health Adult Outpatient Pavilion building

The Adult Outpatient Pavilion is more than a new facility; it’s the way healthcare should be. Here’s the thinking behind your new home for outpatient care in Richmond.



You never forget the first time you walk into a new home. There’s something special about knowing that every square foot is yours and seeing the potential for your future there. You may have noticed we’ve been building something at the corner of North 10th and East Leigh streets. But it’s more than a new facility. The Adult Outpatient Pavilion at VCU Health embodies the Richmond community’s vision for the future of healthcare — for itself and for greater Virginia.

How the journey to the Adult Outpatient Pavilion began

You see, we started this journey with all of you in mind. We listened to your experiences, concerns and hopes for care in this community. We also listened to our clinicians and staff, because what good is a vision without a team who believes in our ability to deliver it into the future? Then, we looked outward for inspiration, to bring the best to Virginia.

It's not every day that we build a 615,000-square-foot medical office, so we took this opportunity to reimagine what care spaces should look and feel like in this new era of patient-centered care. As an academic medical center, we engaged with some of the top health systems across the country to learn about what’s worked and what hasn’t. But most important, we spent a lot of time listening to patients about what they wanted, making sure their hopes and dreams were at the center every step of the way. The Adult Outpatient Pavilion is a pivotal chapter in our mission to provide greater access to world-class care in a space that fosters learning, collaboration and healing. A welcoming place.

Our hope for the future of outpatient care

Anxiety about finding your way to a doctor’s office, elevated blood pressure while you search for parking, or traveling to multiple locations for prescriptions or lab work belongs in the past. We applied the best evidence and practices of our peers in medicine across the country to design an Adult Outpatient Pavilion that was accessible, easy to find, and easy to navigate. We’re proud to say we’ve developed a top-tier treatment space that facilitates an ease of movement through the building for patients and clinicians.

Every square foot brings to life our commitment to “welcome” — an experience of trust and caring in our delivery of medicine. Welcome also means making our care as accessible and available as it can be — to all. Whether it’s by public transit or car, short or long distance, we hope patients and staff of the Adult Outpatient Pavilion will find their way here easily. And once they arrive, the layout of each of its 17 floors will create a streamlined experience for patients and clinicians that builds upon our capacity to serve even more of the Richmond community — and beyond. The space itself, the preparation and thinking we invested in optimizing clinical workflows, and the new technology we’re bringing into this space mean greater capacity to deliver some previously unavailable capabilities and treatments that are now in the region for the first time. 


What we hope you notice about the Adult Outpatient Pavilion 


We can’t wait to welcome you whenever you need us, to your new home for outpatient care. Like any good hostess, we hope your experience at the Adult Outpatient Pavilion feels effortless, intuitive and simple. And, of course, we hope you notice the little things. How easy it is to park right in the same building where you have your appointment. The way we brought the outside in. The natural influences for the materials, the paint colors, and the artwork along the walls and even some ceilings, to surround you in a healing, calm space that reminds you of our beautiful state. The café that provides a moment of comfort with a hot drink and a space to talk about your health with a friend or family member. We hope this beautiful new building with views in every direction fosters a healing and therapeutic environment from the moment you arrive.

Welcome, to your new outpatient experience at VCU Health.
