Out of curiosity does Virginia Tech have a columbarium for alumni? The Citadel established one in the base of the Howie Bell Tower about a decade ago and there are ones in the cemeteries at USNA, AFA and USMA; apparently its a growing trend.
 
VMI has a Memorial Garden and the famous "Virginia Mourning Her Dead" sculpture.

    The Memorial Garden, at the front of Cocke Hall, was designed by landscape architect Ferruccio Vitale. Plaques honoring VMI Alumni who were killed in war are located in this area. The Garden includes the statue "Spirit of Youth", the work of sculptor Attilio Piccirelli. This statue was a gift of Anne Cocke, the wife of VMI's 4th Superintendent, William H. Cocke. In 2016 a memorial arch was added opposite the Spirit of Youth. Photo
  • New Market Monument (1903) View photograph
    This statue, officially named Virginia Mourning Her Dead, was created by sculptor Sir Moses Ezekiel to honor the VMI cadets who fought at the Battle of New Market. Ezekiel was himself a member of the Class of 1866 and New Market cadet. The statue was dedicated in 1903, an event that included a reunion of New Market veterans.
VMI is full of history and there are many dedications to those who fell in battle.
