VMASC relocated to its new facility located at 1030 University Boulevard, Suffolk, VA on September 24, 2007. The Center also maintains an additional location on the main ODU campus in the Engineering and Computational Sciences building.

The Suffolk facility includes a multi-purpose computer laboratory with both Windows-based and Linux-based workstations for computer simulation development, labs dedicated to transportation, computational science, game-based learning, and a virtual simulator lab supporting live, virtual, and constructive simulation integration.

The main VMASC facility primarily supports military, defense and homeland security, social science, medical, computational science, and enterprise engineering research efforts plus administrative and program support. The facility on campus consists of approximately 6,000 square feet of lab space including two general-purpose labs, a visualization lab, a human factors lab, and a 74-seat virtual reality theater supporting both research and teaching requirements. This facility primarily supports the Center’s visualization and medical research and development. It also serves as the on-campus presence for VMASC with linkages to the other departments throughout the university.
