About Schilling Center
The Schilling Center once served Liberty University as a key athletic and event space in Lynchburg, Virginia. While the Schilling Center itself no longer exists, the campus now features dynamic on-site venues designed for performances, exhibitions, and large-scale events. The closest active spaces today include Tower Theater (640 seats) in Green Hall, the Box Theater—an intimate on-campus venue in Green Hall—and the Liberty Multipurpose Center, a flexible 75,000-square-foot space ideal for ceremonies, exhibitions, and large productions. Here’s what to know if you’re planning a visit, attending an event, or coordinating a campus gathering.
Geography and setting: Liberty University sits in Lynchburg, VA, with a campus layout that blends historic buildings and modern facilities. The historic Schilling Center area now anchors a broader network of venues and support spaces, and the site-at-large continues to support a wide range of activities—from theatre to wrestling history to modern multipurpose use.
Whether you’re coordinating an event at Tower Theater, catching a show at the Box Theater, or planning a large-scale program in the Liberty Multipurpose Center, you’ll find accessible routes, clear signage, and campus services ready to help. We’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining to make your visit smooth and straightforward.
Parking and access: The Liberty Multipurpose Center’s parking is served by the North Campus Parking Garage. A pedestrian walking bridge connects Bailey Parking Lot over Regents Parkway to the Multipurpose Center, providing convenient access for guests. For Tower Theater, on-site directions note nearby parking options, including campus lots and nearby garages. When planning a visit, allow extra time for campus traffic around peak events. If you’re staying for a performance or event, consider parking a little farther away to avoid congestion near the main entrances.
