The existing memorial, which opened in 2008, pays tribute to the 184 lives that were lost on September 11, 2001 when American Airlines Flight 77 was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon. The VEC will provide historical information and necessary education about the tragic events of 9\/11 for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, countless tourists, including school groups, visit the nation\u2019s capital. The Pentagon Memorial is currently the only 9\/11 site that does not have a visitor or education center. The VEC is intended to help visitors understand the significance of the Memorial&nbsp; and to differentiate it from other memorials and monuments throughout the city. Exhibits, educational programs, guided tours, and reflection space are planned for the Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are so many young people who were not around then or aren\u2019t old enough to remember the events of that day. It\u2019s our job to educate them so that no one ever forgets. With the Pentagon Memorial Fund\u2019s leadership, the VEC will be a tremendous aid in providing that education,\u201d said Jim Davis, President + CEO at DAVIS. The Pentagon Memorial Fund leads efforts to raise awareness and funding for the project.<\/p>\n<p>DAVIS has dedicated seven senior team members to the project with combined veteran construction leadership of 145 years. Two members of the project team worked on the 9\/11 Pentagon Memorial project. \u201cBeing a part of something of this magnitude \u2013 it\u2019s an honor. And it\u2019s emotional. Those tragic events are an important part of our history and now we have the opportunity to be a part of the learning experience surrounding it,\u201d said Chris Hartzler, Project Executive at DAVIS.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed VEC will be approximately 110,000-SF and located adjacent to the Memorial, within Flight 77\u2019s path. Fentress Architects is responsible for the design of the project. Construction will begin in mid-2019.<\/p>\n<p>To support the 9\/11 Pentagon Memorial Visitor Education Center project, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/911pmf.org\">911pmf.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>ABOUT DAVIS<\/strong><\/u><br \/>\nDAVIS Construction is the largest general contractor that solely serves the Washington region, building nearly one billion worth of construction a year; including some of the region\u2019s most complex and notable projects, across 10 diverse market sectors.<br \/>\nFor more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/davisconstruction.com\">davisconstruction.com<\/a> or follow us <a href=\"http:\/\/@DAVISbuilds.\">@DAVISbuilds.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\t<span style=\"color:#696969\"># # #<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rockville, MD &#8211; The Pentagon Memorial Fund recently selected DAVIS Construction as the general contractor for the 9\/11 Pentagon Memorial [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13489,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
