Virginia Tech’s vision for the next generation, co-education hub at the intersection of business, technology and analytics is a step closer to reality.
On Tuesday, the Virginia Tech Visiting Committee approved the design review and the construction of the new business building, the second academic building of the Global Business and Analytics Complex, marking a key milestone in the relocation and expansion of Pamplin College of Business.
The 92,000-square-foot structure, designed to meet the demands of the growing student and faculty population, connects to the western edge of the Multi-Story Commons area of the Data and Decision Science building, providing space for experiential learning, industry collaboration, and interdisciplinary research. Featuring Apex Center for Entrepreneurs, Hokie Hospitality Lab, student learning accelerators and cutting-edge collaboration zones, the building will serve as a dynamic hub for talent, innovation and business education in an increasingly data-driven world.
“To solve today’s most complex challenges, an interdisciplinary approach is required. It seamlessly integrates technological innovation with a business mindset to ensure scalability, sustainability and ethical responsibility,” said Pamplin Dean Saonee Sarker. “We are committed to promoting these connections and preparing our students to lead them to an ever-evolving global landscape.”
