Life, Health, Safety, Accessibility, and Code Compliance Priority 3

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Efforts to improve the physical accessibility of Virginia Tech’s Blacksburg campus will continue with the development of another new American with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant pathway in the North Academic District. Complementing other ongoing ADA-compliant pathway improvements within the North Academic District, this new pathway will be located between Patton and Holden halls to provide even greater accessibility in a heavily trafficked area. 

This pathway – the third priority of a series of mobility and accessibility improvements occurring on the university’s Blacksburg campus – was presented in a combined design preview and review to the Board of Visitors’ Buildings and Grounds Committee on June 11, 2024.  The series of improvements will help advance the overall physical accessibility of the North Academic District.
