The Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) Moss Arts Center is a cornerstone of the university’s arts initiative to enhance the presence and practice of the arts at the school. Nurturing and showcasing the arts, the 150,000-square-foot complex sits at the campus’s main entrance and boasts a performance hall, art galleries, studios, an amphitheater and a four-story experimental Cube, a collaborative performance lab.
STV served as executive architect for the project that houses the University’s Institute for Creativity, Arts and Technology. As part of this program, the firm provided project management, structural, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, electrical, telecommunications and sustainable design services. Snøhetta was the design architect and provided interior and landscape design.
Following its completion, the Moss Arts Center project received awards from Engineering News-Record and Building Design+Construction magazines.
