War Memorial Chapel roof renovations

From: Division of Facilities

To accommodate renovation work, the War Memorial Chapel Roof (Pylons area), will be temporarily unavailable from Monday, June 29 through Monday, Nov. 30.

The project will consist of new lighting, roofing, limestone repairs, pylon stones and paver replacements where needed, and a new glass railing system installed at the west knee wall. 

During this project the chapel will be closed, and will only be accessible to the contractors performing the restoration. Pedestrians may hear construction related noises for the duration of the project. 

Pedestrians should exercise caution and follow posted directional signage when navigating these areas.

Due to the evolving nature of these projects, accessible and pedestrian pathways as well as emergency and delivery vehicle access are subject to change. Changes in routes will be communicated via Virginia Tech News, the interactive campus and campus closures maps, Division of Facilities X account and Instagram account, and directional signage.
