Virginia Tech has expanded its relationship with Hilton Hotels Corporation to manage the university's new hotel, The Inn at Virginia Tech, and the Skelton Conference Center in preparation for its opening in May 2005. Vice Provost for Outreach and International Affairs John E. Dooley announced the new accord which will complement the agreement under which Hilton has managed The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center for the Virginia Tech Foundation under the Doubletree brand. This agreement, which will go into effect on Oct. 1, will also provide for Hilton's management of the Donaldson Brown Hotel and Conference Center on the Virginia Tech campus.
