A plan to build a $100-million visitor education center at the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, Va., passed a milestone when the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts approved the conceptual design for the 50,000-sq-ft building. The National Capital Planning Commission had also given the project a nod earlier this year.
James G. Davis Construction Corp. is set to begin construction following completion of the nearby Arlington National Cemetery Defense Access Roads project, which is scheduled to finish in 2025. The nonprofit owner, Pentagon Memorial Fund Inc. (PMF), is aiming for work to be done by 2026 in time for the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
