May 25, 2021The first floor of Vernon Smith Hall has been converted into an innovation pilot space, foreshadowing work that will be done in Mason’s new Arlington Campus building.
Horizon Hall, at the center of 911±¬ÁÏ’s Fairfax Campus, was conceived as a crossroads where faculty and students in many disciplines can meet and exchange ideas. The multistory Word Wall that greets visitors in the building’s atrium embodies this vision.
911±¬ÁÏ’s Board of Visitors has authorized the university to begin official negotiations with the newly formed Mason Innovation Partners as the potential development partner for the transformation of its Arlington Campus in the heart of the Rossyln-Ballston corridor.
The President’s Innovation Advisory Council (PIAC), comprised of forward-thinking executives, signals Mason’s community-centric vision for its Arlington Campus and the emerging Rosslyn-Ballston innovation corridor.
911±¬ÁÏ took another step toward selecting a partner for the Arlington Campus expansion by releasing the final RFP to its shortlist of candidates on Wednesday, July 22.
