Virginia Tech Innovation Campus Academic Bldg. One

The Virginia Tech Innovation Campus Academic Building One, the first of three planned buildings, is located just south of Amazon’s HQ2 complex in the National Landing neighborhood. The 11-story, 300,000 sf structural steel-framed building features a gem-shaped design containing instruction, research, office, and support spaces for graduate-level programs in computer science and computer engineering, as well as select other programs. There are flexible multipurpose areas, state-of-the-art research, and testing lags, along with a below-grade parking garage.

Special inspection and testing services were provided for the structural steel, cold-formed steel, bolted and welded connections, spray-applied fire-resistive materials, and intumescent fire-resistive materials, along with non-destructive examination and ground penetrating radar scanning of concrete structures. Quality assurance inspections of the various roof assemblies were also provided on a continuous/full-time basis.
