The rapid growth of members, volunteers and staff has resulted in the need
for an expanded regional facility in Charlottesville. The Maria Miller
Center, named in honor of our beloved founder, was completed in early
2007. The total construction cost of the building was $2.6 million. These
dollars were raised through private donations. No state funding went toward
the construction costs. The Maria Miller Center houses the regional headquarters,
the regional production studios and Virginia state offices. In addition,
the facility will continue to open its doors as a community meeting area,
resource center and training space. Please follow the progression of the
building project below.

The Plans for Growth

Making an Impact
As Maria Miller impacted our community, and those who were fortunate enough to call her friend, so too will the Maria Miller Center impact the lives of those who have a print disability.
Many naming opportunities exist, from a single brick to the entire production
studio. For more information regarding the gift to RFB&D that best suits
your vision, contact Chris Eure:
