Campus Development Plans

As Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College added students and programs, it also grew the size of the campus.

In the post-WWII years, the college contracted with Alfred Hopkins and Associates, a New York architecture firm, to develop plans for the development of the campus to meet the growing enrollment. A number of reports were produced, evaluated, and discussed. The result was the "Recommendations for Future Development" released on June 10, 1950.

The plan below is from that report and is in Special Collections of the University Libraries.
