VSU Breaks Ground on $120M Academic Commons Building

Virginia State University is pleased to announce a groundbreaking for what will be the largest building ever constructed on the VSU campus. The $120M Academic Commons building will replace a demolished academic building and the campus gymnasium. As a strategic investment, the Academic Commons will consolidate the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Education into one complex.
