# | VT announces plans for a massive $225m Business School complex Well, it looks like my days of parking at the golf course and walking to lot 18 on gameday are coming to a close.
With this move, it's only a matter of years before the entire golf course is "campus", all the way down to the cage. They'll probably sprinkle in some residential just southeast of Oak Lane, with 460 as the edge on the west. I figured it would happen one day, but here we go...

Easy fix. Stand and be loud!
If he just played for somebody else! All joking aside, I always root for my Hokies, regardless of where they play after VT, so I'll be looking out for how he did. And yes, I am excited for him and wish him All Pro status.
I read about all this in the morning and the first thing that struck my mind is what will happen to lot 18. I hope it stays, and I hope it remains grass.
I'll be at the Duke game, but I'll never go to another UNC game. It's too uncomfortable to sit if you're taller than 6', and it's miserable getting in and out of that place.
Glad Im getting out when I am. its frankly going to be a sh*tshow here in the next 10 years. The town of Bburg doesnt want the school to grow, theres no parking as is, there limited housing.
You probably did, but just thought you were dreaming.
And I guess they aren't really cutting out what's left of the golf course either......
Looks more like RIP (edit: parking and) the golf course to me based on the map. Convenient parking died long ago
Nothing to see here. Move Along
I agree it is a benefit to scrimmage them in camp and the new tempo the practices are handled with. The defense I am sure is moving at that same fast pace which is a benefit but as far as practicing against Fuente's offense, that doesn't happen much in the season.
Good for him, looking forward to it.
Brian Kelly said the same thing about Notre Dame. "This not a coaching problem, so I'm happy about that". The fact that a coach would throw their kids under the bus like that is mind boggling.
Yeah didn't mean to imply the offense was overall terrible those years, but they were awful in the Clemson games and it cost us (see comment above about an inability to adjust in the second half due to < 1 minute drives
Umm, Chizik coaches the defense. If they are playing poorly - it starts with him....... Gotta love coaches who throw the players under the bus.
oh thank god, the kid must have misquoted that to me
What's lots will be lost? As long as Lot 18, the TKP lot, is still there we are good.
Zobel also has a "degree" from UNC. That man has overcome a lot to become such a good professor.
Another Classic. Wonder if Coach Fu can do the spinning split kick?
They're getting rid of some of the best tailgating spots on all of campus...
50 k? I know Sands has talked about 30k but 50?

Tech's growth will continue to be the main issue in a housing crunch faced by the town of Blacksburg. Sands has said he ultimately hopes the university will have 30,000 undergraduates in the coming years.
I've seen a lot of stuff that the infrastructure in Blacksburg and surrounding areas can't support what's there now.
Damn, yo. That's my major, that's what I actually do every day. I watch people increasingly make strategic decisions to be "Data Driven" organizations and embrace analytics and Business Intelligence without the first clue of what that means. That does not, however, prevent them from throwing anywhere from thousands to millions of dollars at shiny software and consultants/contractors to build them "Business Intelligence". And the majority of people I've had to deal with are terrible at it, which gives the entire industry and concept a terrible name.
Tech had a lot of good professors in this area, at least when I was there. Taylor, the Dept head, in particular and Zobel (who has managed to overcome his degree from LOLUVA) are both still there and are fantastic. I like that they are showing a huge commitment to a burgeoning field, and I hope Tech can focus on lending some credibility and rigorous process to the profession.
Ah. Me Dumb. I didn't pay any attention to the new PFork buildings there...
Pardon my ignorance as I haven't been down in BBurg for five or so years, but is there really limited housing? I thought they were building all new apartment complexes?
