Brodie Hall, which had housed members of the Corps of Cadets and was the corps' headquarters, closed in summer 2013. University planners envision replacing Brodie and Rasche halls with state-of-the-art residence halls to house more than 1,000 cadets.

William M. Brodie

   

Brodie Hall honors the memory of William Mayo Brodie, professor of mathematics and sometime commandant of cadets, who worked at Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute (now Virginia Tech) from 1901 to 1932. An alumnus with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a master of engineering, he worked as the college librarian and a mathematics instructor before working his way through the ranks to become head of the mathematics department.

Building History

Brodie Hall is composed of an old section (Barracks No. 3) completed in 1900 and a newer section completed in 1957 on the site of the Second Academic Building (an early building that no longer exists).
