New Building
Renowned architect Clive Wilkinson has designed the Brandcenter’s
new home. Creative spaces are his specialty, having designed offices
for TBWA\Chiat\Day, Mother Advertising, London, the Googleplex, and
California Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. See the Brandcenter building come to life.
Our new building sits on VCU's Monroe Park Annex. All Brandcenter
students have access to the VCU libraries, gyms, places to eat, etc.
on the Monroe Park Campus.
Richmond Area
VCU is located in downtown Richmond, Virginia. The city is historic, hip,
and easy to love. Trendy areas bustle with boutiques, cafes and upscale outdoor fashion parks. Nightlife hotspots range from martini bars to corner pubs. Richmond is home to a vibrant arts community, and the local music scene spans different genres and styles. Richmond's temperate climate means an abundance of outdoor events, including river-front festivals, concerts, athletic events, and outdoor shops and markets.
