Common coil dipole magnets based on Nb{sub 3}Sn conductor and the React and Wind technology are a promising option for the next generation of hadron colliders. The react and wind technology has potential cost benefits in terms of cable insulation, structural materials and magnet fabrication. A common coil design allows the use of pre-reacted Nb{sub 3}Sn superconductor with low critical current degradation after bending. Fermilab in collaboration with LBNL is involved in the development of a single-layer common-coil dipole magnet with maximum field of 11 T and 40-50 mm aperture, for a future VLHC. The current magnetic and mechanical designs of the dipole model, magnet parameters along with the status of the program, are reported in this paper.
