In 2018 the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors approved spending $3.5 million to develop a plan to replace Slusher Hall. Due to its poor condition, Virginia Tech has determined that the 46-year-old structure should be replaced rather than renovated. The university plans to first build and occupy a new residence hall near the existing Slusher Hall, then demolish Slusher Hall, and construct a second residence hall on the site. The two new residence halls will have a total student occupancy that will equal or exceed the existing Slusher Hall.Virginia Tech offers 15 living learning communities for on-campus students. They serve as an alternative experience for their residents and communities range from entrepreneurship to community service.
