“The Public Education Center will serve the American people, the federal government, and the international community as a national center for research, education, training and policy and program development on issues of international conflict,” added Solomon. The Public Education Center is part of the Institute’s headquarters project. The architectural firm Moshe Safdie and Associates has completed the design concept for the headquarters. The Center will provide exhibits, interactive displays, case studies and other visual media to educate the public about peacemaking and peacebuilding, using state-of-the-art technologies and programs.
“We are delighted and honored to be working with The United States Institute of Peace on its Public Education Center,” said Christopher Chadbourne. “This is a very important project for our nation and for the world.”
