The 2020 AEI Student Design Competition required teams to renovate War Memorial Hall at Virginia Tech. The project included two challenges:

​

  • Building Enclosure

  • Wellness Hub

​​

War Memorial Hall is an existing campus recreational facility in Blacksburg, Virginia. The original facility was built in 1924, and an addition was added to the 1924 facility in 1972. Prisma was tasked with renovating the existing 221,000 SF building with a base budget of $45 million and additional budgets for the two challenges.
