BLACKSBURG — The Virginia Tech Board of Visitors approved the first of several measures toward creating the school's 5,000-bed Student Life Village on Monday, despite some concerns voiced by board members and landlords, as need grows for more on-campus housing.The project, which carries an estimated cost of almost $1 billion, was added to the Campus Master Plan. There are numerous other steps that will need to be taken before construction could start.The vote came after the board started its meeting Monday with a moment of silence after the mass shooting Sunday that took the lives of three University of Virginia football players.
