With the lovely Virginia Tech campus as its home, the War Memorial Chapel is located prominently on Drillfield Drive. The Chapel is a tribute from alumni and friends to the sons of Virginia Tech who made the ultimate sacrifice in our nation's wars.

This memorial is a shrine to fortify education with worship and inspiration. It was conceived as a central campus structure, giving visual evidence of the ethical standards which are traditional at Virginia Tech and are based upon the honor system. It is dedicated to those who gave their all; yet it is designed to inspire the living, especially the Virginia Tech graduates of the future.

The Chapel's permanent features avoid creedal symbolism, yet the space easily accommodates events such as weddings, memorial services, initiations, military commissioning, departmental commencement ceremonies, concerts, religious services, and meetings.

The doors of the Chapel remain unlocked Monday through Friday from 6:00 am until 12:00 am and Saturday & Sundays from 8:00am until 11:00pm. Whenever students, faculty, staff, or visitors need a calm, quiet place to get away from the everyday bustle of life- to meditate, to pray, to sit quietly- the War Memorial Chapel is here for their use.
