Visitor and Education Center
Capital Campaign
The Army Heritage Center Foundation is conducting a capital
campaign to construct the Visitor and Education Center,
a key component of the Army Heritage and Education Center
(AHEC) campus, and to create an endowment to sustain educational
programs. The Visitor and Education Center (VEC) will be
the focal point for all campus educational activities will
serve as the primary point of entry into the AHEC Campus.
The VEC's development will occur in phases. Phase One will
include the first gallery of the Army Heritage Musuem, multipurpose
rooms to support veterans groups and educational programs,
and support infratructure for visitors and staff. Phase
2 will add additional multipuropse rooms and an auditorium
and enhancements to visitor services.
The unique public-private partnership established to develop
the AHEC will make this building possible. The Army has
agreed to fund its operation and maintenance, and to staff
the facility. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has committed
$10 million towards construction of the Visitor and Education
Center building. The Army Heritage Center Foundation will
fund the remainder. Each phase of the VEC will cost approximately
$15 million for design and construction services.
Upon completion of the Foundation's efforts to construct
the Education Center, a campaign to raise funds for the
Army Heritage Museum will commence.
