The Titan Missile Museum’s Education and Research Center replaced the existingfacility which had grown piece by piece over the years. The new 8,300 sffacility houses exhibits and archives documenting the role the TitanMissile program played in our country’s defense during the Cold War as wellas staff offices and guest accommodations. One of the major aspects of thedesign was to focus the visitors’ attention to the site and missile silo, thelast of it’s kind remaining in the United States. This was achieved bysiting the building so that the original approach road was preserved,allowing the visitors to share the experience of the airmen stationed at thesilo as they arrived for duty. A large angled wall at the entrance to theVisitor’s Center leads one’s eyes to the silo itself upon approaching the building.
