ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Undergraduate Science Laboratory Building provides critical teaching laboratory and general use classroom space to support Virginia Tech’s growing enrollment and Beyond Boundaries vision. The four-story facility houses 26 wet, dry, and specialty laboratories designed to be flexible and adaptable to current and future instructional needs for the College of Science, College of Engineering, College of Natural Resources and Environment, and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Graduate teaching assistant workspaces, classrooms, collaboration spots, offices, informal study areas, and 24/7 student space are also incorporated.
