MAKE AN IMPACT

Help support the care, maintenance, and development of Virginia Tech for current and future generations of Hokies to live, learn, and enjoy

SUPPORT WHERE HOKIES CALL HOME

From ensuring a constant supply of sustainable power to maintaining clean and beautiful landscaping, the Division of Campus Planning, Infrastructure, and Facilities works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to ensure every Hokie’s experience in a Virginia Tech space feels like home.

The work performed by the division supports where Hokies live, learn, and make lifelong memories by caring for, maintaining, and developing the university’s campuses across the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond.

The division provides safe, inclusive, accessible, sustainable, mission-centric, partner-focused, and cost-effective spaces that preserve, foster, compliment, and advance Virginia Tech’s distinct senses of place and service.


ENHANCING VIRGINIA TECH'S CAMPUS AESTHETICS

Dedicated to the enhancement of Virginia Tech’s campus aesthetics, the Campus Beautification Fund supports the division’s ongoing efforts to further Virginia Tech’s unique sense of place.

Philanthropic support has played a key role in developing critical landscaping projects near the Blacksburg campus’ iconic spaces including Torgersen Bridge, Eggleston, and Ag quads, and more.

Current opportunities for support include leaving a lasting legacy on Virginia Tech’s historic Upper Quad through the creation a new gateway wall that will signify a distinct entrance to the Blacksburg campus at the corners of Turner and Old Turner streets.

Your gift to the Campus Beautification Fund will help Hokie Nation feel at home the minute they arrive on the Blacksburg campus.

COMPLETED PROJECTS SUPPORTED BY PHILANTHROPIC EFFORTS

  • Eggleston Quad: Granite cobble edging was installed to create high quality, refined edges on historic quad. This improves maintenance by eliminating need to hand trim around posts.
  • Torgersen Hall: Landscaping was installed at highly visible planter at mall entrance to Torgersen Hall, facing War Memorial Chapel.
  • Ag Quad: Flowering shrubs including rhododendron, mountain laurel, and native azalea were planted at historic quad under large oak trees.
  • Alumni Mall: Evergreen flowering shrubs, wood chips, and edge work were installed and created to screen mechanical equipment from view along highly visible corridor at library plaza.
  • Miles and Whitehurst Halls: Patio space was renovated and landscape was replaced. 
  • Williams Hall: Concrete pedestrian pathways were installed to replace eroding landscape.

ADVANCING SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS

The CPIF Sustainability Fund supports the Office of Sustainability’s efforts in the implementation of Virginia Tech’s Climate Action Commitment.

Philanthropic support has helped further the integration of the Climate Action Commitment into the university’s educational mission and engage more students in sustainability-focused experiential learning opportunities.

Your gift to the CPIF Sustainability Fund will help diminish barriers to sustainable behavior on Virginia Tech’s Blacksburg campus by supporting sustainable student internship and experiential learning opportunities and zero-waste implementation efforts.
