Veterinary Teaching Hospital Expansion and Renovation

Virginia Tech’s Board of Visitors recently approved a $4.3 million planning authorization to begin the design process of a monumental renovation and expansion of the hospital by the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. 

The size and scope of the renovation and expansion will depend, in part, on philanthropy, and the college has launched a $9 million fundraising campaign for 2024-25, as critical aspects of planning take shape. The ultimate goal is a project that achieves its maximum potential for the animals the hospital serves and the future leaders in veterinary medicine and research the college educates. 

“This is not just about expanding a building,” said M. Daniel Givens, dean of the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. “This is about our ability to heal. This is about teaching the next generation of students and pushing the boundaries of veterinary medicine. This is about ensuring that every animal that comes through our doors gets the best possible care without delay.”
