Campuses edit

Reynolds has four campuses: Downtown, Parham Road, Goochland, and The Kitchens at Reynolds.[4]

 
J. Sargeant Reynolds, the college's namesake, served as 30th Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Downtown campus edit

The Downtown Campus is housed in a modern, high-rise structure at Seventh and Jackson Streets, having moved in the fall of 1981 from leased facilities in the 100 block of East Grace Street. In the fall of 1995 a major addition to this facility was completed, adding 84,000 square feet (7,800 m2) to the existing structure. A six-story parking deck is adjacent to the DTC. This campus is located on or near (1-3 blocks) many city (GRTC) buses.

Parham Road campus edit

In September 1974, the Parham Road Campus opened in a newly constructed, contemporary building located on a 105-acre (0.42 km2) site in northern Henrico County. A second instructional building was completed on this suburban campus in time for the opening of classes in the fall of 1980. A three-story structure adjacent to the Parham Road Campus houses executive and central administrative offices. In the fall of 2008, the Parham campus opened the Massey Library Technology Center, named for Ivor & Maureen Massey.

Goochland campus edit

An instructional facility at the Goochland Campus was completed in the fall of 1981. A major addition to the Goochland Campus opened in Spring 2001, making this the college's third comprehensive campus. The Goochland Campus offers programs in horticulture, automotive and diesel mechanics, welding and equine management.[5]

The Kitchens at Reynolds edit

The Kitchens at Reynolds opened in July 2020 in the East End of Richmond. As a front door to career advising and assistance with financial aid and enrollment, the Kitchens is a convenient neighborhood access point to all of Reynolds' academic and workforce offerings, including culinary arts, hospitality, and small business entrepreneurship. The facility houses teaching kitchens, a demonstration kitchen with theater seating, urban greenhouse, and flexible classroom spaces for General Education courses and workforce training instruction.
