Jefferson County Convention and Visitors Bureau

The firm designed an addition and complete interior fit-out of the existing Jefferson County Welcome Center, home to the Jefferson County Convention and Visitors Bureau. The building serves as an important gateway to the state of West Virginia and the town of Harpers Ferry.

The welcome center was in need of exterior improvements and an additional 1,250 square feet of interior to continue to draw the attention of visitors to the area. Based on the welcome center’s proximity to the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, the firm approached the project with a holistic design for the building’s exterior envelope to help the center blend into the park-like surroundings. Local precedents led to the use of exterior materials such as stone, board and batten siding and horizontal beveled siding to accomplish a natural look.

The revitalized interior includes a cathedral ceiling main hall and has been enlarged to house the exhibit space that highlights the county’s rich history, recreational amenities, and tourism destinations. The firm was additionally contracted upon completion of the addition to design the final interior vinyl graphics and informative signage that depict the landmark historic events and destinations within Jefferson County in a colorful and engaging format.
