Virginia Tech’s brand new Innovation Campus will create a dynamic learning environment for students in Computer Science and Computer Engineering programs. The inaugural building will span 300,000GSF and house a remarkable array of facilities, including distance learning studios, instructional labs, and numerous research labs.

Engineered as a ’flexible container,’ this structure has been tested with various program configurations, allowing the space to grow and adapt to the evolving nature of computer science. Each classroom operates on an independent AV network and features multiple podium locations for enhanced participation. All classrooms are equipped for distance/virtual learning. The largest classroom features an LED video wall for high-quality presentations, complemented by displays for optimal viewing.

The ground floor is home to a fully immersive Visualization Lab, which brings to life student projects, course material, and much more. There will be several Brain Gyms, which encourage students to explore information and collaborate with their peers.

The Sanghani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics is located on the 5th floor of the building. The Center is the hub for Virginia Tech’s partnership with Amazon, which gives students the opportunity for specialized research and drives the emphasis on pushing boundaries within the sciences.

The University’s mission of offering a powerful learning environment for graduate education is being carried through this building. The new facility and subsequent Innovation Campus will offer students modernized, efficient tools, so they can excel in their educational and professional endeavors.
