This video documents a visit to the Maritime Center during the renovation of this historic building - it shows the 1943 building lifted up off the ground to allow workers to install a new foundation, shows the "secret exit" for children to slide down from the second floor, and reviews the history and original design thinking about the Maritime Center.
“Riveting in Richmond” was the editorial feature on Maritime Center in the March/April issue of Green Building & Design, including an interview with H+A principal Chad Hamilton.
