The Project
Impressions from the project process
Honoring the country's veterans at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum in Columbus, Ohio
A collection of interlaced concentric arches rising from the earth define the outer walls of the National Veterans Memorial and Museum.
More than 100,000 square feet of PERI’s VARIO system wall forms were required to place the National Veterans Memorial and Museum’s curved walls.
Because the radius of the National Veterans Memorial and Museum’s curving walls changes continuously, each form panel used on the project was unique.
Box-out forms individually CNC cut in PERI’s Chicago yard played an integral part in defining the void geometry of the project.
Installation of steel beams and stay-in-place forms for the outer mezzanine level of the National Veterans Memorial and Museum.
Said by many of those involved to be one of the most challenging projects they have ever worked on, the National Veterans Memorial and Museum required more than 100,000 square feet of wall formwork – all curved.

Project Information
Jon Jones
General Superintendent
Two other contractors had this project and turned it down. Baker was approached to do it and accepted the challenge. PERI took on this challenge with us. PERI was probably the only company that could have constructed and supplied the forms to us. It has been a very challenging project for both parties.
