College of Architecture and Urban Studies

The College of Architecture and Urban Studies (CAUS) at Virginia Tech is a global leader in art, architecture, design, construction, planning, and public and international affairs. We are a community of courageous architects, designers, and creators of communities, buildings, and policies. We care about — and work to improve — our shared natural and built environments.

Beyond the classroom, our college prioritizes hands-on experience through research, study abroad experiences, internships, and student organizations that expand skills and broaden horizons. With your support, we can provide more of these exciting opportunities to more CAUS students.

Your gift makes a difference!

Every gift to CAUS on Giving Day matters. Whether you’re a first-time donor or long-time supporter, your generosity helps support the aspirations of our students:


  • $25 provides students with design materials that support model making and prototyping that enhance hands-on learning 
  • $50 supports technology fees that provide students with access to state-of-the-art equipment such as virtual reality lenses and 3D printers/scanners
  • $100 provides transportation for students working on community-engaged projects in Radford and Christiansburg, Virginia 
  • $250 helps fund scholarships that help remove financial roadblocks for students and support their educational goals


Your gift on Giving Day can  inspire others to support these opportunities for CAUS students. Sign up to be a Giving Day Ambassador and help spread the word to your networks – tell them why you give and how even small gifts make a big difference for our students!
