Important Columbarium Updates

Posted: 8/4/2025

Steve Comiskey ’69, Chair, USNA Council of Class Presidents, announced on 30 July 2025 that we have successfully achieved the DoD funding to protect the Columbarium from rising water and sufficient funds have been raised to build a new Columbarium annex.

Following is a letter from Bill K.J. Hebert ’82, Director, Class Legacy Gift Programs at USNAAA, on details and an expected construction schedule.

Shipmates,

The Alumni Association and Foundation, is pleased to announce that we have met our fundraising goal for the new Columbarium Annex, thanks to the Council of Class Presidents, to the generosity of the entire alumni community, to the Class of 1975’s original lead gift, and especially to the Class of 1969’s efforts to close the gap on the required necessary funding.

With this final fundraising step now complete for this new Columbarium annex, we can expect the contracting process to now begin with an estimated completion in the summer of 2027 of this new Columbarium annex to be built at the top of the hill just behind the current Columbarium.

While this new Columbarium annex is under construction, alumni families desiring inurnment for deceased and eligible alumni and alumni spouses should please contact USNA Memorial Affairs after the date of death to get on the waiting list for the new Columbarium annex.

Additional information is located on our webpage.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
