## Resource

Old Dominion University is set to revolutionize campus life with a $140 million, three-story Engineering and Arts Building — the largest capital investment in its history — fully funded and slated for completion in 2030, just in time for the university’s 100th anniversary. Located between key academic colleges and featuring exhibition spaces, design studios, and robotics labs, the building will break down silos between creative and technical disciplines, fostering groundbreaking collaboration. Groundbreaking is scheduled for fall 2027, and even iconic landmarks like James L. Bugg Jr. Plaza will relocate to make way for this bold vision of innovation and growth.
