Plaque on hospital's west auditorium entrance

West Hospital is a building on the MCV Campus of Virginia Commonwealth University noted for its Art Deco architecture.

The building, in Richmond's Court End, is in a crucifix shape. On the entrance of the building's west auditorium, a plaque (pictured) indicates that "on this site the Virginia convention ratified the United States Constitution June 25, 1788." The building is slated for demolition as part of the VCU 2020 plan,[1] but the Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods (ACORN) is opposing the demolition.[2]
