If you recently visited the USS Arizona's visitors center at Pearl Harbor you would have certainly seen the ongoing construction of the new facility. Construction began in the summer of 2008 and will continue throughout next year when it opens its doors on December 7, 2010.
As you can imagine, with the millions of visitors that visit pearl harbor the current VC has sunk 30 inches and caused major structural damage since its completion in 1980.
The new visitors center will include an expanded state of the art interactive museum with temperature controlled displays and exhibits, a brand new education and research center, as well as improved amenities like larger restrooms, restaurant and gift shop. You can learn more about the new visitor center as well as watch the constructions progress at www.pearlharbormemorial.com
