Brick, Stone Masonry, Cast Stone Masonry Installation and Restoration Services

The stone facade on campus buildings is comprised of “Hokie Stone”, a coined term indicating a mixture of dolomitic limestone and its particular jointing, which dominates the architectural character of Virginia Tech’s main campus buildings. The local stone typically ages to a wide color pallet, including beige, brown, pink and gray. Virginia Tech owns and operates its own quarry. Virginia Tech personnel quarry the raw rock into the stone used on campus buildings. The hand finished stones are provided by Virginia Tech to their construction contractors. The public-at-large, as well as the academic community, has a special interest and appreciation for the unique character of this style of construction. Because of the great public interest in this work, only the best possible aesthetic and physical results will be acceptable to Virginia Tech, irrespective of what otherwise would be acceptable in an ordinary commercial masonry restoration project.
