This new facility will offer more than 70% gross square metres than the previous structure, housing multiple departments of the College of Engineering. 

The project entails the demolition of the existing Randolph Hall and the construction of the new Mitchell Hall, which will span more than 26,500m².  

Mitchell Hall is expected to become the largest building on the Blacksburg campus of Virginia Tech.  

The construction plan also includes working around the existing stability wind tunnel.
