Benchmarking
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MASTER PLAN GOALS DEFINING STRATEGIES PROGRAM ACCOMMODATION CAMPUS SYSTEMS Strategic Plan Core Qualities Land Assets Transit & Infrastructure Living Document Virginia Tech as a Place
In order to understand the physical space required to achieve the strategic goals, the master plan team conducted a benchmarking study against ten competitive and aspirant peer institutions. The institutions were evaluated on university academic space normalized to net square feet/student and net square feet/faculty. Additionally, several key performance factors were evaluated. The peer institutions benchmarked were:
Georgia Institute of Technology - Atlanta Michigan State University - East Lansing North Carolina State University - Raleigh Ohio State University - Columbus Pennsylvania State University - University Park Purdue University - West Lafayette Texan A&M University - College Station University of Arizona - Tucson
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign University of Michigan - Ann Arbor University of Texas - Austin University of Wisconsin - Madison
Conclusions from the Benchmarking Study contributed to establishing a basis for the quantification and distribution of the Master Plan Program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MASTER PLAN GOALS DEFINING STRATEGIES PROGRAM ACCOMMODATION CAMPUS SYSTEMS Strategic Plan Core Qualities Land Assets Transit & Infrastructure Living Document Virginia Tech as a Place
Over the 2002-2003 academic year the Provost led a process to “realign� the then 8 colleges, allowing academic departments to reconsider where they would report. Five departments realigned college affiliations. The College of Arts and Sciences was merged with the College of Human Resources, and a new College of Science emerged. It is anticipated that undergraduate enrollment will see only slight growth over the next 10 years (primarily via transfer students).
Student Support Enhancement of on-campus student support space continues to be a priority. Union and Dining space, particularly in the academic core area is in great need. Indoor and outdoor recreation areas are currently over utilized. Recommended from the 2005 housing facilities study recommend systematic upgrades to the existing housing stock, including air conditioning of the older residence halls. It is recommended that new residence hall space be constructed to provide swing space for renovations, as well as provide a variety of housing options.

Research Increasing funded research initiatives is a primary goal of the Strategic Plan. Research space totals 839,000 gross square feet with an additional 717,000 identified as teaching laboratories. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MASTER PLAN GOALS DEFINING STRATEGIES PROGRAM ACCOMMODATION CAMPUS SYSTEMS
2003 research expenditures were reported at $247 M. New research initiatives are planned to bring research expenditures over $540 M by 2012. The Virginia Tech board of Visitors adopted a plan in 2005 to grow PhD enrollment by 900 students by 2012.

The developing Life Sciences District will create a new district of campus primarily focused on research initiatives. Additionally, the Corporate Research Center provides short-term lease space for new research programs.
Graduate Studies Graduate studies will play a key role in enabling the University to reach its research goals. Recruitment and retention of quality graduate students is a core element of a strong graduate studies program. Quality academic and graduate support space is key to student recruitment and retention. In 2006, a new Graduate Student Center opened its doors in a facility previously occupied by the Donaldson Brown Hotel and Conference Center.

The University and the Town of Blacksburg share a drainage basin that flows through Stroubles Creek. Stroubles Creek has been designated an impaired body of water by the State. Future planning needs to embody sustainable land use practices and development patterns to preserve key assets and key drainage ways such as the Duck Pond, Drill Field, and wooded areas like the Grove.

CRC Town Gown Stormwater/Sustainability Study Virginia Tech organized an affiliated corporate research park in the 1980’s. Today the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center (VTCRC) has 675,000 square feet of space in 19 buildings on 120 acres. Phase I total capacity is approximately 1,000,000 square feet. The VTCRC plays a crucial role not only in its outreach and economic development roles but in providing shortterm space for research and academic program needs. Phase II of the CRC is planned for adjacent property north of the current park. Additional adjacent land is earmarked for future phases. CAMPUS MASTER PLAN UPDATE 2006

Early in the planning process, issues related to stormwater management, flood plains, and water quality prompted an additional sub-study of the drainage shed shared by Blacksburg and Virginia Tech. This study proposes the creation and preservation of an environmental corridor along the Stroubles Creek drainage ways, linking the University’s critical environmental and cultural assets together in a no-build zone, the “Environmental and Cultural Greenway.” CAMPUS MASTER PLAN UPDATE 2006

With roadway realignments it is recommended that the hub for Blacksburg transit be moved from the Drill Field at Burruss Hall to a transit center on Perry Street north of the academic core and that bus traffic be removed from the Drill Field as part of this initiative. Other minor route reconfigurations will be necessary in association with road realignments. CAMPUS MASTER PLAN UPDATE 2006

Bicycle accommodations will be achieved through the use of parallel bike lanes on streets and roads and off road trails. Bike lanes primarily provide functional movement and while trails provide functional routes, they also are used for exercise and recreation. Establishing an integrated system of bikes lanes and paths will encourage greater use of bicycles as a primary mode of transportation. CAMPUS MASTER PLAN UPDATE 2006

The Stroubles Creek Study and the master plan further propose that the university fully consider and employ a range of structural “Best Management Practices” (BMPs). BMPs include such things as pervious parking lots over storage beds, green roofs, and vegetated swales with the design intent of managing the runoff from impervious surfaces locally.
