Proposed Alumni Hall & Park
The Foundation is currently raising funds to support the proposed construction of an Alumni Hall & Park adjacent to the new Root Hall academic building.
The U.S. Army War College’s new Root Hall academic facility was completed in Summer 2023 with the Class of 2024 as the inaugural class in the new space. Many alumni have expressed concern about the fate of the various class gifts and the historic class plaques which were display on and around the former Root Hall and Bliss Hall. Several of the class gifts have already been relocated to the grounds of the new Root Hall while the stained glass and the class plaques have been carefully removed and placed in storage pending installation in a proposed Alumni Hall & Park. This proposed project will be funded entirely by the Army War College Foundation and gifted to the College upon completion. While the Foundation has long provided funding for margin of excellence programs at the College, this project would be the first of its kind to be completed by the Foundation. Please consider joining our efforts to preserve the history of the U.S. Army War College graduates.
Current Proposed Project: Alumni Hall & Park
The plans include a structure that can be used for the full range of ceremonies previously held in Bliss Hall foyer featuring the stained glass windows.
The earliest year’s class plaques will be remounted at the enhanced Alumni Memorial site with the newer, larger class plaques mounted along the walkways surrounding the proposed Alumni Hall.
