SUMMARY:VA COTE + USGBC Building Tour: LEED Silver - Virginia Tech Data and Decision Sciences Building
DESCRIPTION:Join AIAVA COTE and USGBC for our 2026 building tour series! We wish to celebrate exciting and innovative sustainable building design around the Commonwealth. Each month we will focus on a project in one of the five AIA Virginia component areas that has achieved LEED or other sustainable certification. Tours will provide AIA and USGBC CEU’s for participants. \nJoin us on May 21 for a tour of The Data and Decision Sciences Building at Virginia Tech is a 120\,000 SF\, four-story academic facility that opened in 2023 to support interdisciplinary collaboration in data analytics and decision sciences. Located on the campus in Blacksburg\, Virginia\, the building brings together students and faculty from the College of Engineering\, the College of Science\, and the Pamplin College of Business. Its Collegiate Gothic exterior clad in Hokie Stone reflects the university’s architectural traditions\, while the interior features a vibrant multilevel atrium\, advanced data visualization classrooms\, a trading lab\, and more than 30 team rooms designed for collaborative learning. \nThe tour will highlight key sustainability strategies integrated into the project\, including a 33% reduction in whole-building energy use\, 35% reduction in indoor water use\, and participation in demand-response programs. Additional highlights include high-performance indoor air quality strategies\, responsible material sourcing and transparency\, 87% construction waste diversion\, and biophilic design elements that support occupant wellbeing and connection to nature. \n1 AIA LU | HSW (submitted for approval)\n1 GBCI LEED Specific BD+C and LEED Green Associate CE (submitted for approval) \nAIA Member: $15\nUSGBC Member: $15\nNon-Member: $30\nStudents: FREE \nRegister Here>>\nRegistration closes at 12:00pm on 5/20.
