[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virginia Tech’s campus is beautiful. It’s a large campus, but feels cohesive with the use of Hokie stone for buildings. The central drillfield is a lovely open space and the mountains in the distance are my vision of the perfect campus.

It's super depressing to be isolated there for 4 years though.[/quote]

Hokie stone? Are you referring to Bluestone? [/quote]

DP.  Hokie stone is what they call the limestone used at VT.

I think it is Dolomite, which is a bit harder and more durable than Limestone.[/quote]
The article calls it limestone in every paragraph, but I’m sure you know better than the school what kind of stone they are getting out of their own quarry. [/quote]

DP.  I’m the person who posted the link and the PP is actually correct - further into the piece it explains that it’s dolomite.  Interesting article.[/quote]
