The 2024-25 SSC team, who formally went by Urban Pigeons, LLC., was composed of six undergraduate students—Brianna Lombardo (team captain), Tucker Eccleston, Devin Poe, Sofia Remondino, Kaylee Senlick, and Jessica Young —along with two graduate advisors, Lucas Alexander and Nichole Dorn, and faculty advisor Claire White. Tasked with an adaptive reuse project to convert an underutilized office building into a thriving community within the City of ASCE, the students transformed the site into a vibrant mixed-use development featuring multi-family housing, retail, unique amenity space, and sustainable infrastructure.

In March 2025, the team secured first place at the Virginias Conference, hosted by West Virginia Tech in Beckley, WV, earning a spot at the national competition hosted by California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly). In June 2025, the team traveled to San Luis Obispo, CA to compete against 21 other schools from across the nation. Virginia Tech finished fifth overall and took third place in the technical design proposal subcategory.

In the Spring of 2024, the SSC team, who formally went by Tiger Claw Inc., competed for the first time in Virginia Tech history. The team was composed of four undergraduate students—Nichole Dorn (team captain), Brooke Dashiell, Alex Price, and Ethan Valera—along with two graduate advisors, Lucas Alexander and Natalie Romero, and faculty advisor Claire White. Tasked with redeveloping an abandoned industrial brownfield, the students transformed the site into a vibrant mixed-use development featuring multi-family housing, recreation fields, a repurposed rail line, a waterfront boardwalk, and more.

In March 2024, the team first debuted at the Virginias Conference regional competition, hosted by Virginia Tech, and secured first place, earning a spot at the national competition held at Brigham Young University (BYU). In June 2024, the team traveled to Provo, Utah, to compete against 18 other schools from across the nation. They achieved an impressive second-place overall finish and took first place in technical proposal and sustainability (two of the four subcategories).
