"Burruss Hall is the main administrative building at Virginia Tech, located in Blacksburg, VA.
"It was named after Julian Burruss, class of 1898, who became president of the college in 1921 and immediately bought a printing press, which he used to barrage the state with news releases supporting the school's mission in applied science. He faced mass resignations when students and faculty disagreed over a corps disciplinary action against one of its cadets, but, through working with Burruss, both sides found common ground.
"Burruss Hall is located on the drillfield and is often used in promotional literature as a signature building of Virginia Tech." –Wikipedia
