The stately Alumni Memorial building rises on the Asa Packer campus as a tribute to the 46 Lehigh alumni who died in World War I and the 1,921 alumni who served in that war.  Plaques also commemorate alumni who died in subsequent wars.

The Gothic-style, ivy-covered building, with its tall, stained glass windows, was a project of the Lehigh Alumni Association. Designed by alums Theodore G. Visscher and James Lindsey Burley, it opened in 1924. The offices of the President and Provost, as well as admissions and alumni, are located there.

The building, one of the most impressive at Lehigh, has a central three-story tower. Huge glass doors on the ground floor open to the campus, revealing the beauty and expanse of the grounds.
