The Creativity and Innovation District

The Creativity and Innovation District Living-Learning Program is a radically new residential experience at Virginia Tech!

Located within CID are three separate LLCs: Studio 72, Innovate, or Rhizome. These LLCs give you the chance to specialize on a particular theme, and allow students to additionally attend programming and events through the Faculty Principal, Dr. Tim Baird, as well as have access to the physical amenities located in the building. Students can choose to be a part of one of these three communities (by applying) or they can simply live in CID. If they choose the latter, they will still need to apply through StarRez. Living in CID, not apart of one of the aforementioned LLCs, affords students access to programming and events through the Faculty Principal, Dr. Tim Baird, as well as all the physical amenities located in the building. Students who live in the building and are not a part of one of the three LLCs have a less specialized, broader experience.

This new residence hall is the cornerstone of our new Creativity and Innovation District, making the most of existing programs and facilities in the area. Here, students will benefit from a vibrant community where individuals working across disciplines come together, explore, and create.
