Dimensions - Winter 2018 - 5
The community of Danville, Virginia, continues to evolve
while maintaining its roots as a town built on textiles,
tobacco, and research, and a strong rail system. Now, it's
gaining new recognition for its state-of-the-art medical
facility housed in the former Dan River Research
Building. The existing structure was constructed in the
late 1800s as one of the world's largest textile research
facilities, followed by several additions, most recently
completed in the mid-1900s. After years of planning,
design, and construction, the River District Tower
reopened its doors in 2017.
Many Floors, Many Possibilities
Dewberry provided a full range of services, including
architecture, engineering, and interior design
and incorporated adaptive reuse throughout the
140,000-square-foot facility. The building is home to
multiple medical practices, a restaurant, banquet hall,
and has enough space for future buildouts. The original
building, known as the North Annex, is a roughly
13,000-square-foot space and is often referred to as
Riverside Mills. This area runs along the Dan River and
the ground-level canal, and houses the banquet hall.
The North Annex is also home to Cotton, a high-end
restaurant that opened in August 2017. The second level
extends along the river and is designated for Cotton's
expansion. Within the former research building is space
occupied by multiple tenants. The first floor contains
leasable spaces, each ranging from 800 square feet to
4,200 square feet. The addition of an atrium structure,
the tower, is positioned against the existing brick façade,
providing vertical circulation within the space, defining
the building's entry, and hinting at the modern character
visitors experience inside the facility.
