Situated within the lobby of the museum, Memorial Hall serves as a place for sombre reflection and remembrance.
The exhibit's access point is angled upwards; with its doorway designed to provide an illusion of narrowness.
The walls surrounding the access point is cladded in copper, and is illuminated only by light fixtures installed in the floor, and a light mounted on the ceiling.
The portion of the museum where Memorial Hall is situated in is also aligned on an axis with the Peace Tower of the Canadian Parliament Buildings.

Conversely, the walls inside Memorial Hall are made out of smooth concrete, with only a grid pattern resembling the headstones used for Canadian First World War soldiers etched into the walls.
The exhibit is illuminated by a skylight that extends beyond from the building's rooftop; while a glass-enclosed pool of water sits on the south side of Memorial Hall.
The design of exhibit was intended to provide visitors with the feeling of weightlessness.
The exhibit contains a single artifact, the original headstone for the soldier eventually reburied at the Canadian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The hall was designed so that sunlight that passes through the hall's only window illuminates directly onto the headstone once a year, on 11 November at precisely 11 a.m., the time that the armistice that ended the First World War went into effect.
