Front Door P1 Completed VCU design in front of building

Front Doors
Phase 1

The ONE VCU Master Plan targets 11 intersections in need of pedestrian-oriented accessibility and safety improvements. The first priority locations for improvements were the intersections at Shafer and Franklin Streets, Linden and Main Streets, and Cary and Harrison Streets. They are heavily traversed pedestrian routes with frequent vehicular movement. Intersections were retrofitted to provide safe, effective pedestrian crossings. Adjacent underutilized space on campus was revitalized as convenient, informal gathering spaces.
