"Partnering with Trimble helps us prepare students to excel and innovate in the construction industry." "Virginia Tech faculty have been conducting innovative research for several years using Trimble technologies so this is an excellent university for our newest Trimble Technology Lab," said Amy Northcutt, director of education and outreach at Trimble.
