Verner Johnson, Inc. planned and designed the new 185,000 SF National Infantry Museum. It recently opened to the public in June 2009 on a 200-acre site connecting Ft. Benning and the City of Columbus. This dramatic new museum is a place to simultaneously preserve and share the heritage of the U.S. Army Infantry. Through dynamic spaces, including 65,000 SF of interactive exhibits and theaters designed by Christopher Chadbourne and Associates, it presents the contributions of the Infantry to the founding and growth of the nation and the preservation of freedom throughout the world. The museum is organized around the primary message, "The Infantry Owns the Last 100 Yards." Visitors literally traverse a 100-yard upward sloping ramp accompanying the Infantry through 234 years of its history.
