Virginia Tech’s Squires Student Center is celebrating its 75th anniversary with an open house on Monday, Jan. 30, 2012.
The original Squires Hall was completed in May 1937 and contained 54,366 square feet. It was named in 1949 for John H. Squires, a 1905 alumnus, who donated $10,000 toward construction of the building.
Squires has undergone two major renovations since it opened. It was closed in 1966 as work began on the surrounding addition and renovation to the original building. It reopened in 1969. Another renovation was completed in 1991 and the building now features more than 200,000 square feet.
In December 2011, it was announced that Squires will see more renovations throughout the building to update some areas and give the facility more of a Hokie flavor overall.
What the what?! Who knew? I guess I never really thought about that brick part of Squires on the second floor was the the original exterior. Man, look at those steps that used to lead up to Squires!
We hope you do, too! Good luck!
For those who have passed. For those to come. Reach for excellence!

Looks like we’ll be opening ACC play early this season as it seems all but certain that Virginia Tech will host Georgia Tech on Labor Day as the conference’s feature game.
The Hokies last opened the season with an ACC rival in 2005, when the team defeated N.C. State 20-16 on a tense night in Raleigh.
We should all hope that Lee Corso doesn’t drive to the game.
Winter? Where?
Some photos from around campus of students enjoying the unseasonably mild winter in Blacksburg this week.
Deep Thoughts with Eric Cantor.
I know that look! It’s the Frank Beamer “Who farted?” face!
I know! That’s what we’ve been saying all along!
The official Charlottesville, Virginia Facebook page lost a bet with the official Blacksburg, Virginia Facebook page over last night’s basketball game between the No. 15/17 Wahoos and the struggling Hokies, who entered the game 0-4 in ACC play and hadn’t won a game in 2012. According to the Hooville FB page, they made the bet because they thought it was a no-brainer. Instead, they lost and have to have the HokieBird (yes, no space between Hokie and Bird) as their profile picture until 5 p.m. today. Awesome!

Congrats to the Hokies for winning their first in-conference game this year.
BWAHAHAHAHA! And it’s so true, too!
