Plans back on track to renovate site of massing shooting at Virginia Beach Municipal Center
Building 2 has been empty since the 2019 shooting that killed 12 people. But in a few months, it will be gutted. Renovations should finish in the summer of 2022. Author: Allison Bazzle Updated: 12:00 AM EST February 24, 2021
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. Plans are back on track to renovate Building 2 of the Virginia Beach Municipal Center, after a mass shooting in 2019.
When renovations are completed on Building 2, city leaders said the outside won’t look much different, but the inside will look nothing like it did on May 31, 2019.
“That was pretty important, that if we were going to keep using the building that it be a healthy environment not only physically, but emotionally for everyone in there,” said Public Works Facilities Engineer Tom Nicholas.
