University will use second floor of Norris Hall as a center to study peace and violence prevention.
Virginia Tech has announced that the second floor of Norris Hall, where 30 students and faculty members were slain in the nation's deadliest college campus shooting, will be used in part to create a Center for Peace Studies and Violence Prevention. The floor that gunman Seung Hui Cho terrorized in the spring also will be used to enhance engineering education. The decision on the use of the space was made after months of deliberation by a task force.
