By CSI HQ posted 11-12-2018 03:47 PM

  

The culmination of five years of research, investigation, design, and development, the National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) has opened in Columbus, Ohio. Designed by Allied Works, the space seeks to honor veterans from all conflicts.

 

Only the 20th institution in the country to receive national designation, the NVMM:

  • Combines building and landscape in one fluid gesture.
  • Offers the city a civic space that tells the personal stories of veterans through diverse artifacts, multimedia exhibits, and installations.
  • Uses intersecting bands of site-cast concrete to represent the branches of service supporting and strengthening one another.

 

The project represents the combined vision, effort, and investment of veteran groups led by former US Marine, astronaut, and Ohio senator John Glenn, local civic leaders, and the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation (CDDC).
