Eugene Trani is known for the big buildings that transformed the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University and revived the pulse of downtown Richmond.
Even his critics acknowledge the impressive imprint Trani will leave when he steps down June 30 after 19 years as VCU's president.
From a basketball arena and residence halls that repopulated Broad Street to a business and engineering complex that expanded the academic campus east of Belvidere Street, Trani is credited with spearheading $2.2 billion in investment for a struggling city core.
