We are excited to announce that the Pamplin College of Business academic programs, previously offered at the Falls Church campus, are now offered at the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus in Alexandria, Virginia.

“Embracing the transition to the Innovation Campus is a testament to our commitment to advancing teaching, learning, and research in the digital age,” said Dr. Parviz Ghandforoush, associate dean for Pamplin graduate programs. “By intertwining the expertise of our esteemed faculty and the aspirations of our dedicated students, we plan to create a dynamic environment that propels innovation, collaboration, and excellence. This shift presents an extraordinary opportunity for our face-to-face and online programs to flourish, empowering students to prosper in an ever-evolving technological landscape.”

Innovation Campus: A New Beginning

The Pamplin College of Business has broadened its reach with a new location at the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, while still offering programs in Blacksburg. This expansion strategically places Pamplin near Washington, D.C., a hub for diverse industries and top tech companies, including Amazon's HQ2.

Our new campus offers state-of-the-art classrooms, cutting-edge research labs, and collaborative spaces—designed to enhance Pamplin’s graduate programs and foster innovation, professional growth, and leadership.

The recently opened Potomac Yard-VT Metro station, just a brief five-minute walk from the Innovation Campus Academic Building One, ensures seamless connections to Reagan National Airport, Arlington, Crystal City, and the entire DC area.

This relocation provides a modern, innovative setting for academic pursuits, fostering collaboration and growth. We look forward to welcoming everyone to Pamplin’s new home and are confident this move will enhance the student experience and academic journey.
