Baskervill transformed a historic, three-story brick carriage house into an open, collaborative environment for VCU Brandcenter. The space simulates real-life ad agency conditions and expands the graduate school’s advertising, media and communications functions. As the architect of record, Baskervill collaborated with Clive Wilkinson Architects to execute the renovation. The intent was to design the new addition in such a way that it would harmonize with the historic structure while also adding new technology. The end result is a seamless integration between old and new, featuring modern classroom space and breakout collaboration zones. At 32,000 sf, the final space fosters teamwork and interaction and serves as a beautiful addition to campus.
