Virginia Tech’s Creativity & Innovation District Living Learning Community runs along the eastern edge of campus where it intersects with downtown Blacksburg to fully support the complexities of innovation—from idea creation to commercialization, providing landscape architectural design services to meet the university’s goals of LEED Silver® designation, interaction among residents and the wider community, and creating a strong sense of place within the campus and enhancing connections to the wider campus.
Surface 678 is serving as the landscape architect for the 596-bed CID residence hall, currently slated for completion by the summer of 2021. The residence hall will house artistic, performance, and research-based experience to support engagement and connection with campus.
