At a press conference held at 4:15 p.m. Associate Vice President of University Relations Larry Hincker discussed operational issues pertaining to the rest of the weekend and semester. There will be a joint information center set up somewhere on campus to release further information about any developments.
Norris Hall will remain closed for the rest of the semester, and authorities are unsure about whether or not the building will remain in use or standing.
The room numbers in which the victims were found have not been released.
The media will no longer be driving or parking on the grass of the Drillfield.
Hincker addressed the future and expressed his sorrow for the university.
"From my university's standpoint we have got to move forward," he said. "We will do whatever we can to get this place on its feet again to prevent anything like it to ever happen again."
Media coverage will be moved from The Inn at Virginia Tech to the South End Zone Media center in Lane Stadium. Of the victims, five were faculty members.
