    Hello World!

    We are the 2013-2014 design/buildLAB of Virginia Tech! We come together from across the world united in the same passion for design, architecture, and education. This year we will continue the design/buildLAB's tradition of conceiving and realizing a built architecture project that is both educational and charitable in nature. Word of mouth is already spreading excitement through the community with whom we are collaborating! We can't quite reveal what we're up to yet, so you will have to keep an eye out on the blog for what is up next!
