Virginia Tech plans to spend $225 million on a business and analytics complex composed of four new campus structures, the school announced Tuesday.

The complex is expected to include two academic buildings and two dormitories with learning spaces and a total capacity of 700 students, officials said. The school plans to seek state money to cover much of the cost.

Construction is projected to begin in 2020 and be completed in about 2023, according to a university news release.

The academic buildings are to be located in what’s now a parking area at the southwest corner of Prices Fork Road and West Campus Drive. The dorms would be built south of the Inn at Virginia Tech, but their location would not affect Tech’s golf course nearby, according to university spokeswoman Tracy Vosburgh.
