MEMORIAL HILLSIDE Situated between the Academic Commons and the Athletic Precinct is Memorial Hillside and the 275’ tall Landmark Tower that, when complete, will be the tallest building in Lynchburg. Since the school’s founding in the
8
70s, the Carter Glass mansion and Prayer Chapel have anchored Liberty’s academic programs in the University’s main spiritual mission. The Hillside precinct is the arrival point for first-time visitors and dignitaries and is home to the new, dome-capped Visitor Center. From here, visitors disembark on guided tours or self-directed excursions into the campus, where they can travel through the restored memorial gardens, the founder’s historic home,
9
and the Tower’s planted lower terraces. Once inside the Tower lobby, one can catch glimpses of the new campus taking shape to the south or take an elevator up to the glass-capped observation level 16 stories above to experience a different perspective of the growing campus. 1
