The Library of VA has selected Richmond-based architectural firm Baskervill to lead the schematic design of a transformative renovation of its building in downtown Richmond, located at 800 East Broad St. The multi-year project will reimagine 112,749 square feet on the Library’s first and second floors to improve the visitor experience, focusing on accessibility, flexibility and community engagement.

Baskervill will be joined on the project by Shepley Bulfinch, a Boston-based architecture firm renowned for library design, to implement a design phase that will include extensive stakeholder engagement ... The renovation will address a number of priorities designed to enrich public use and support a modern, safe and welcoming visitor experience.
These include:

Upgrades to conference and event facilities to support increased use and modern broadcasting capabilities

Reconfiguration of reading rooms to reflect the changing nature of research and scholarship

Consolidation of service points for improved efficiency and user experience

Enhancement of exhibition areas, including the creation of a new permanent “Virginia Experience” gallery

Relocation of the café space and the gift shop to activate the street level and invite greater public interaction

Planning is underway, with detailed design and pre-construction efforts expected to continue through 2027. A phased construction schedule is targeted to begin in early 2028 and continue for approximately two and a half years, with a focus on maintaining continuity in public services and staff operations
