An adjacent ecosystem park will be designed to allow for future phasing of one or more geothermal sources such as vertical ground-coupled heat exchange, or wastewater heat exchange from the entire development which will flow through a new pump transfer station just north of the Innovation Campus. The form is sculpted to create a welcoming ground floor as well as dynamic interior spaces and several terraces with views of the Capital region. Designed as a ‘flexible container’ and tested with various program configurations, it will be able to grow and adapt to the ever-evolving nature of computer science. Experiential learning environments within the building will include including flexible multi-purpose areas, research and testing labs and maker spaces. When completed, the building will provide instruction, research, office and support spaces for graduate-level programs in Computer Science and Computer Engineering, as well as select other programs. The campus’s first building-centered on the principles of sustainability, health and wellness, green and social spaces, accessibility, connectivity, flexibility and integrated technology-promises to bring to life an inclusive setting that will help accelerate knowledge creation and solutions at the intersection of humanity and technology. metro area into a hub for tech talent and innovation. The Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, with a focus on computer science and computer engineering, will transform the greater Washington D.C.
