The University announced Wednesday the finalized purchase of approximately 48,000 square feet of condominium units next to the Virginia Science and Technology Campus.

The condominiums will be converted into office space in order to shift administrative offices from the Foggy Bottom Campus to the Virginia Campus. The move will free up space in Foggy Bottom in an effort to provide more space for academic activities in the District, Executive Vice President and Treasurer Lou Katz said.

Renovations to the newly purchased property are expected to begin this fall, and officials have not yet determined which specific offices will be moving to Virginia.

Katz told The Hatchet last month that the building would cost around $5.8 million.
