Home to over 500 students and founded by industry donors to produce top talent for the construction industry, the Virginia Tech Myers-Lawson School of Construction resides in both the College of Engineering and the College of Architecture and Urban Studies, and offers degrees in both colleges: building construction and construction engineering and management.

With great results like these – coupled with skyrocketing demand for construction talent – it’s no surprise that the school has been challenged to double the number of students in the next few years.
Your gift today supports Virginia Tech’s growth as a national leader in the construction industry, and it can also work to expand the impact, prestige, and value of your degree. Annual giving in any amount helps boost national stature and enhances our ability to recruit, train, and graduate the next generations of construction leaders. Your generosity enables our school and its students, faculty, and graduates to fulfill our land-grant, service-inspired mission.
On this inaugural Giving Day and in the spirit of Ut Prosim, we ask building construction and construction engineering and management alumni, and friends across the nation to continue their support of the Myers-Lawson School of Construction – or even to support the school for the first time.
Please make a gift today of any amount – and become a Giving Day Ambassador for the school. With your support, Virginia Tech’s Myers-Lawson School of Construction can continue to build a formidable legacy – and promising future – of Hokie excellence in construction.
