The Result

The center's second floor is dedicated exclusively to research, providing a valuable resource for the Alamo. Despite challenges like navigating the archeology of the historic Alamo site and ensuring the preservation of existing trees, WestEast maximized the building's plans to deliver a space that is as functional as it is impactful, particularly for young visitors.
