WRVA Building


The WRVA Building is an building located at 200 N. 22nd St. in the historic Church [Hill, Richmond, Virginia|Church Hill] district of Richmond, Virginia. Designed by world-renowned architect Philip Johnson while he was at the architectural firm of Budina and Freeman, it was originally built to house WRVA , one of Virginia's first broadcast radio stations. The building is considered "one of the city's most visible and important mid-20th-century architectural landmarks." ChildSavers, a Richmond nonprofit child services agency, is the current occupant.

Renovation

From 2007 until 2008, the WRVA Building underwent an extensive $5.4 Million renovation for use by ChildSavers. Baskervill, a Richmond architecture firm, treated the building with great care to successfully design its adaptive reuse. Very few structural changes were needed during its renovation.
