Virginia State Capitol Master Plan

Richmond, VA

WRT’s long-range master plan for the Virginia State Capitol included a comprehensive master plan of the Capitol Complex and schematic design for the renovation of the historic capitol building designed by Thomas Jefferson.

The master plan included a program to contribute to the City of Richmond and the Commonwealth's efforts to revitalize downtown, promote tourism, and preserve historic treasures. The master plan provided a sustainable planning and design framework for significant renovation and new construction investment within the 10-year period. Sensitivity to the historic context and downtown Richmond real estate market forces were critical to the success of the master plan.
