Gladding Residence Center

Virginia Commonwealth University

Richmond, VA, United States

The Gladding Residence Center, delivered through a public-private partnership, is the first project implemented as a result of an Ayers Saint Gross housing master plan. It replaces an outdated residence hall with a 12-story complex on a prominent site fronting historic Monroe Park. Double-height floor lounges and communicating stairs create active and visible hubs for student interaction, and accommodate kitchens, laundry facilities, and study/collaboration spaces. The building footprint is a compact “U” shape common to the urban residential typology. A portion of the central wing is recessed along West Main Street to respect a historic bathhouse on the site. The project was completed with American Campus Communities, Clark Nexsen, and Sixthriver.
