SUPPORT WHERE HOKIES CALL HOME
From ensuring a constant supply of sustainable power to maintaining clean and beautiful landscaping, the Division of 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, partnerfocused, and cost-effective spaces that preserve, foster, complement, and advance Virginia Tech's distinct senses of place and service.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Campus Beautification Fund
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. Your generosity has helped leave a lasting legacy on Virginia Tech's historic upper quad through the creation of a new gateway wall at the corners of Turner and Old Turner Streets. Currently in design, the sign will signify a distinct entrance to the Blacksburg campus, helping students, employees, and alumnl feel at home the minute they arrive on campus. This year, your gift will help make Virginia Tech feel like home by supporting critical landscaping and enhancement projects.
Facilities Sustainability Fund
The Facilities Sustainability Fund supports the Office of Sustainability's efforts in the Implementation of Virginia Tech's Climate Action Commitment. Your generosity 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, such as the development and care of pollinator habitats in iconic Blacksburg campus locations. This year, your gift will help diminish barriers to sustainable behavior at Virginia Tech by supporting student engagement in university sustainability initiatives.
