Charlottesville, Va.
The University of Virginia broke ground on two new buildings in Charlottesville in April of 2009. The six-story, 100,000-sf Information Technology Engineering Building will house laboratories, an auditorium, and workrooms for teaching and research in computer science and engineering. Designed to support collaborative research and distance education, the sustainably designed facility is slated for occupancy in fall of 2011. The five-story, 100,000-sf physical and life sciences building, housing flexible laboratories for faculty and group research, will also open in fall of 2011.
