The building, constructed primarily out of [[Hokie Stone]] and concrete, was completed in 1962 and was originally dedicated on May 16, 1966 to [[Paul Brandon Barringer]], a former Virginia Tech [[President]] and noted eugenicist. In August of 2020, the building was re-dedicated to [[James Leslie Whitehurst Jr.]] '63, the first Black student permitted to live on campus in 1961, and later the first Black member of the [[Board of Visitors]]
