National Purple Heart Hall of Honor Renovation & Expansion
LERA was the structural engineer for the renovation and expansion of the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, which commemorates the nation’s service men and women who were killed or wounded in combat. The existing 7,500-sf (700-sm) facility opened to the public in 2006, and is physically connected to the New Windsor Cantonment Historic Site Building.
The new 4,300-sf (400-sm) expansion improves visitor circulation, increases reception/orientation space and program/event space, integrates new audio-visual displays and provides additional collection storage space.
