This project included site selection, programming, design, and construction phase services for a 7,500 SF facility to store, consolidate, package, and ship hazardous wastes from University operations. Interactive design sessions were used to facilitate input from project stakeholders. Presentations were made to the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors, Virginia Art and Architectural Review Board, and Bureau of Capital Outlay Management, and an Environmental Impact Review was required.

Project highlights include: incorporated sustainable design elements; architectural design expresses functional attributes and surroundings; special systems, including spill containment, fire protection and blast resistant construction in certain areas, emergency power, ventilation and alarm systems, and other special building features appropriate for this facility function.
