The 120,000-gross-square-feet Data and Decision Sciences Building houses faculty and classes from multiple colleges, including the College of Engineering, the College of Science, and the Pamplin College of Business. Its function is to bring together under one roof computer science, engineering, and data-related disciplines to provide opportunities for students, faculty, alumni, and even industry leaders to work side-by-side to address some of the world鈥檚 significant data challenges.

The Data and Decision Sciences Building鈥檚 features include a multilevel commons area, team rooms in which students across disciplines can work together, specialized labs, data visualization classrooms, and more. The building's exterior is clad in Hokie Stone and reflects the Collegiate Gothic architectural style found across campus.

The facility will directly support the commonwealth鈥檚 Technology Talent Investment Program for growth in computer science and computer engineering sectors as well as other technology-based and cyber security industries.

The building was completed in time for the start of the fall 2023 semester.
