    Campus Master Plan Update 2006
    (Virginia Tech, 2006)
    The 2006 Master Plan continues patterns of infill to achieve ideal densities in the core district. This plan implements western expansion of the campus by proposing the Life Science District in the ten-year horizon, and preserves the golf course as a future district and land bank. The master plan also codifies and designates the environmental and cultural greenway as a significant reservation of lands, waterways, tree stands, and cultural landmarks for future generations and “best management practices” of sustainable land use. Finally, this plan allows for the growth of the airport, CRC, the core campus, and fulfills objectives of the master plan for Blacksburg and, most importantly, aligns with and helps to implement Virginia Tech’s strategic vision.

    Virginia Tech Bike Parking Plan, Spring 2014
    (Virginia Tech, 2014-01)
    One of the most common obstacles for cyclists is the lack of bicycle parking at their destination. Adequate bicycle parking encourages people to ride, presents a more orderly appearance for buildings, prevents damage to trees and street furniture, and keeps bicycles from falling over and blocking the sidewalk. Most importantly, bicycle parking helps legitimize cycling as a viable transportation mode by providing parking opportunities equal to motorized modes. Therefore, it is the university’s ultimate desire to utilize the information in the Bicycle Parking Master Plan to determine size and location of additional bicycle parking areas to meet both short-term and long-term parking needs of campus cyclists.

    Virginia Tech Wayfinding Master Plan, June 2012
    (Virginia Tech, 2012-06)
    Virginia Tech has engaged the design team of MERJE, with sub-consultant Gay and Neel to develop a Campus Wayfinding Master Plan. A unique and functional wayfinding system can market Virginia Tech, present a friendly image and communicate that the University is efficient, organized and caring. Helping a visitor "find their way" is an important part of their experience and time spent on campus. The Wayfinding Master Plan for the Virginia Tech Campus takes a holistic view of wayfinding and considers the variety of tools that users may encounter as they travel to and around the campus.
