Project Overview

To address a need in the community for awareness and education surrounding the events of World War II and the Holocaust, the Berks Military History Museum needed to significantly expand their current facility to accommodate the educational materials they had in mind for the task.

The three-story Holocaust Museum addition is a fulfillment of that need, doubling the size of the existing museum. The main floor offers four different gallery displays, as well as an auditorium that divides into two separate classrooms. The facility is fully compliant with all accessibility requirements.
