Gilbane Building Company has completed the construction of the University of Virginias (UVA) School of Data Science building in the US.

The project was supported via a $120m donation from the Quantitative Foundation.

The design process, which commenced in January 2020, was a collaborative effort involving Hopkins Architects, VMDO, and the universitys Office of the Architect.

Ground-breaking on the project took place in October 2021, with construction led by Gilbane.

Gilbane Richmond Virginia business leader Maggie Reed said: We are delighted to continue our partnership with UVA on this cutting-edge facility that creates opportunity for collaborative, open, and responsible data science research and education as the schools goals state.

While we helped build a physical building to house the programme, we are excited about what this school without walls will create in the future.

The UVAs School of Data Science now features a new four-storey, 61,000ft facility.

The building, situated at the east entrance of the Emmet-Ivy Corridor, is part of a larger expansion project by the university.

It has been designed with open hallways, an atrium, stairs, adaptive classrooms, and research and meeting areas, aiming to create an interactive and collaborative learning environment.

UVA president Jim Ryan said: This beautiful and unique new space gives students, faculty, and staff a home base for research and teaching that intersects with schools and disciplines across grounds and beyond.

The School of Data Science building has achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification for its green design.

It incorporates solar panels, daylighting strategies, and shading systems to minimise the need for artificial lighting.

The building is expected to derive 15% of its power from solar energy, using four arrays of solar photovoltaic panels on its roof.

This aligns with the UVAs Sustainability Plan, which targets carbon neutrality by 2030 and a fossil fuel-free status by 2050.
