a welcome addition to a historic site

A 3.3 acre tract of land had been selected by Valley Crucis Community Park and Appalachian State University to be the location for the Welcome and Environmental Education Center. As part of the IDEXlab, eight senior students led the design and construction of this structure.  On March 26th, ground was broken for the Welcome Center, which includes a reception area and office, public restrooms, and indoor meeting/event space.
