Architect’s rendering of the new Taubman Museum of Art, currently under construction in Virginia’s Roanoke Valley. Recreation and Redevelopment in Roanoke Valley It’s all about balance in Virginia’s Roanoke region. A thriving urban core is a five-minute drive from the Blue Ridge Parkway. When the workday is done, the productive, skilled labor force knows how to enjoy the region’s arts and recreation amenities. Shorter commutes and good roads have most people relaxing with family and friends, watch- “We Set Our Sights on the Capital Region ” ing a soccer game, or working out at the gym while their counterparts in other cities are still sitting in traffic. Two construction projects in the urban center symbolize the region’s balance, and its future: a new art museum and a medical complex. Next to Roanoke’s historic City Market, the spectacular new Taubman Museum of Art is taking shape and is scheduled to open in November. The 81,000-square-foot build- ing was designed by architect Randall Stout as a tribute to the Blue Ridge Mountains surrounding the valley. Its dramatic composition of layered forms in steel, patinated zinc, and high-performance glass stands in stark contrast to the 100year-old brick buildings that dominate the City Market. This juxtaposition demonstrates the region’s willingness to embrace the new while honoring its past.
