Honoring more than 300 alumni who died in World War II and the Korean War, the Alumni Memorial Building, as it is seen today, was made possible through a funding gift from alumnus Dick Reynolds. Reynolds was the son of R. J. Reynolds, who owned the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in Winston Salem.
The alumni building is a renovation and extension of an infirmary that had served students from the early 1900's , when it was one of the first buildings on campus. Neoclassic architecture characterizes the building's Corinthian columns, white portico, and fanlights, which welcome visitors into the front memorial room. The Alumni Relations and Purchasing offices are inside.
