National World War II Museum - Solomon Victory Theater

This project was the first in a series of structures in an expansion that quadrupled the size of the existing facility. Precast’s ability to be formed in different shapes, angles and sizes made it the perfect choice for this historical museum, which was designed to represent the rocky cliffs of Normandy. The precast walls lean in and out at different angles with no 90-degree corners on the project. The museum is a special place that preserves the stories of the men and women who fought in WWII and changed our world.
