Sandy Hall Rehabilitation

Sandy Hall, built in 1924, is located adjacent to Virginia Tech’s Drillfield at the core of the University, and is one of the earliest buildings on campus. The 10,960-square-foot building previously served as temporary swing space for academic programs in transition and had not undergone any major renovations since its initial construction. Glavé & Holmes designed a matched pair of contextual additions to improve circulation and undertook a complete interior renovation to transform the building into a dynamic home for the School of Neuroscience—the first of its kind in the United States. The revitalized space fosters collaboration by encouraging spontaneous interactions among students and faculty, creating an environment that supports innovation and discovery.
