The March 28th edition of Style (Greater Richmond’s award-winning newsweekly) featured an article lauding the renovation of historic Hunton Hall on Virginia Commonwealth University’s medical campus. Designed by EYP, the complex exterior and interior restoration of the building, originally built in 1841 as the First Baptist Church of Richmond, resulted in the creation of the new Hunton Student Center. The renovation project involved painting the building’s outer walls and columns, establishing a multi-use carpeted space in the large open room (without compromising the historical fabric), retaining and refurbishing the U-shaped balcony, central pulpit, and vestibule that open onto the street, and linking the main entrance visually and physically to the newly relandscaped Patterson Memorial Garden. This National Historic Landmark building now includes a student lounge, study rooms, student affairs and government office, a recreation room, an electronic resource center, individual study carrels, meeting rooms, and food service areas.
