The centerpiece of the PSU Veterans Memorial is a half-sized replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall that stretches some 250 feet. In the center of the amphitheater is a reflecting pond encircled by a brick-paved plaza with 1,500 granite pavers honoring personnel from every branch of the military. At the focal point of the curved amphitheater seating stands a monumental arch displaying an eternal flame. Schaefer Architecture takes great pride in our role as designers of this meaningful and lasting project.

The PSU Veterans Memorial is a 275-seat amphitheater situated within earthen berms, creating a place for contemplation and remembrance. The amphitheater is flanked on both sides by cylindrical entry portals that set the mood for the experience of the memorial.
