The College of Architecture, Arts, and Design (AAD) at Virginia Tech is a global leader in architecture, visual and performing arts, and design. We are a community of courageous architects, designers, artists, and creators of communities. We are centered around transformative practices across environments, constructs, and human intersections. We care about — and work to improve — our shared natural and built environments.
And we are so proud of the Marching Virginians, who have been an integral part of the fabric of Virginia Tech since 1974. Your support helps maintain the level of excellence on the performance field that the MVs are beloved for.
Beyond the classroom and our studio spaces, our college prioritizes hands-on experience through research, study abroad experiences, internships, and student organizations that expand skills and broaden horizons. We empower students with the ability to combine technical expertise with critical and creative inquiry. With your support, we can provide more of these exciting opportunities to a growing body of AAD students.
