Big things are happening in Blacksburg.

As Virginia Tech’s newest and largest engineering building, Mitchell Hall will serve more than 2,800 undergraduate and graduate students. It will take the place of the historic Randolph Hall, which has supported students for 67 years. The updates will modernize the space and make room for expanded learning and research.

We’re working to make the building comfortable, functional, and safe for students and faculty. Go, Hokies! ...

School`s out, but progress continues at Christiansburg High School!

When students return this fall, they`ll see major improvements across campus. Construction on the new addition is complete, and first- and second-floor renovations are finished.

We`re now entering the final phases of the project, including upgrades to the school`s Career and Technical Education (CTE) wing. The renovated and expanded CTE spaces will feature modernized labs and room for additional programs, creating more opportunities for students to explore career paths and develop workforce-ready skills.

Bridge widening efforts at Braddock Road and Lee Highway remain underway, with work focused on approach slabs and parapet construction. Concrete barrier installation and asphalt paving activities are also ongoing within the median to support the widening work.

As construction progresses, these improvements will help prepare the corridor for future traffic operations and enhance mobility for the traveling public. ...

How do you preserve an important piece of local history while building a modern school campus designed for future generations of students?

Boldly. And carefully, with purpose and awe.

The W.C. Taylor Middle School in Warrenton, Virginia, was originally built in 1952 as the county’s first high school for Black students. Named after prominent local education William C. Taylor, it served as the only school for Black youth until integration in 1969.

The project includes renovations to the original school building, including interior mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins. We’re also constructing new additions that will include expanded classroom space, a new administrative wing, a competition-sized gymnasium, modernized science labs, an upgraded cafeteria/auditorium, kitchen facilities, and a covered outdoor recreation area for student activities.

Once complete, the transformed campus will serve up to 850 students and provide a modern learning environment while honoring the school’s historic legacy. ...

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, and supporters, this year`s tournament raised a record amount for The Carilion Clinic Foundation to support the Carilion Clinic Breast Diagnostic Center. The funds raised today will provide access to critical breast imaging and diagnostic services to women across Southwest Virginia.

At Branch, we believe in investing in the places where we live and work. We`re proud that a day on the golf course can make such a meaningful impact for individuals and families across our region.
