Virginia Commonwealth University will hold a dedication ceremony for the new Snead and East Halls at 4 p.m., Wednesday, April 9 on the Cary Street lawn between Belvidere and Madison streets.

Gov. Timothy Kaine, Richmond Mayor L. Douglas Wilder, several state lawmakers and local business leaders will participate in the event, which includes tours of the new facility following the dedication ceremony.

The 240,000 square-foot complex houses Snead Hall, VCU's new School of Business, and East Hall, the second building for VCU's School of Engineering. The building opened for classes in January and is part of Phase I of the largest construction project in VCU's history.

The complex is located on the new Monroe Park Campus Addition, an 11-acre tract adjacent to VCU's Monroe Park Campus, east of Belvidere between Main and Canal streets.
