Merryman Center Upgrades

BLACKSBURG – The turn of the calendar brought forth a new construction project within the athletics department at Virginia Tech, as workers began demolition of the Legends Hall area in the Merryman Center in preparation of an overhaul of the area.
This is the first phase of a two-phase project that calls for updating the entrance to the Merryman Center, for the renovation of the Legends Hall area and for the sprucing up of the ramp that leads to the football offices and the hallways surrounding those offices. Also, the Olympic Sports entrance area on first level of the Jamerson Athletics Center (middle photo) near the sports medicine area will also get a facelift.

Good article on the changes coming to Merryman Center and future changes if the money can be donated. Good reason to join the Hokie Club.

Very cool - after this renovation, we will have nothing but 1st class facilities all around for the student-athletes. I like the idea of a balcony overlooking the football practice area. Also, the Bowman Room was in need of some updating - that room does get a lot of use, and could certainly add value to the Hokie Club level that grants access to the room before games.

Thanks for posting!

The "HOKIES" on the right wall of the rendering looks like the same font from Whit's photo in Vietnam. More evidence of what the rebrand might look like?

I think it's safe to say that's correct. It is scattered throughout most of the mockups.



I hear they call that a "wordmark."
