Virginia Tech’s Squires Student Center Undergoes Renovations, Collegiate Times

“Squires Student Center will be getting a fresh new look as a result of renovations scheduled to begin this spring. The renovations will be the first in many years for the popular campus center. "The last time cosmetic work was done would be the late '80s and early '90s, about 15 to 20 years ago. With all the traffic, it's a lot of wear and tear on the building.
