Virginia Tech to Enhance Accessibility at Historic Alexandria Architecture Center
Virginia Tech is set to renovate its Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center in Old Town, Alexandria. The project aims to enhance accessibility and includes significant changes to the historic building.
The university, which purchased the building at 1001 Prince Street from Alexandria in 1989, will install a new elevator to ensure access to all floors. Additionally, a handicapped-accessible ramp will be added on the north side, facing the parking lot.
To accommodate these improvements, an existing crawl space will be excavated to create a sprinkler room. As part of the renovations, a sprinkler system will be installed throughout the building for enhanced safety.
The renovations at the Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center are expected to significantly improve accessibility for all visitors and users. Despite the lack of information about the architect leading the project, the changes promise to modernize the historic space while preserving its character.
