Highground advances into new era with Welcome Center

Grand opening planned for May 2
Highground advances into new era with Welcome Center
The Highground’s new 6,000-square-foot facility, when including the old building that was added on to, will have much more space for museum exhibits, as well as a counseling room, chapel, theater room, staff offices, storage space, and foyer/reception room (shown below). The foyer has televisions that can mirror the presentation being shown in the theater room, so if there is not enough space in the theater room, people can still watch the presentation. The new facility has large windows to let in lots of natural light and a covered patio area to expand seating when the weather is nice. Several events have been held there already, including a veterans reunion and Education Days.
