Institute leadership continues to communicate important information for cadets, their families, faculty & staff, and the VMI community at-large:

• CPTF Access Update: Virginia Military Institute is opening the Corps Physical Training Facility (CPTF) upper track to the community during the summer. From 9 to 11 a.m., Monday through Friday, the public may enter the facility through the upper door at the walking bridge over Route 11. The South Institute Hill parking area, where the steps to the walking bridge are located, is accessible at the traffic light at the Diamond Street intersection. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The facility will be closed when VMI offices are closed, including June 19, 20, and July 4. Additional updates on holiday closures or events will be posted on the entrance door throughout the summer. Community hours will be reassessed in August, as cadets return to post.
