Ground has officially been broken for the new Welc Ground has officially been broken for the new Welcome Center at @thedawesarboretum in Newark, Ohio! 

This groundbreaking marks an important milestone for the Arboretum as its first significant building project in over 45 years. Members of the Dawes family, Board of Trustees, current and former employees, project team members from MA Design and @robertsonconstruction as well as members of the community gathered today to celebrate the start of this exciting new chapter.

The design for the new two-story Welcome Center was developed in close collaboration with Dawes and Owner’s Representative and Board of Trustees member Gerry Bird. The building will include an exhibit hall, café, expanded retail space, community meeting rooms, and outdoor terraces and porches that extend the visitor experience into the surrounding landscape.

From its orientation and architectural character to its materials and connection to the site, the design reflects Dawes’ longstanding commitment to conservation, learning and connecting people with nature.

We’re proud to celebrate this milestone alongside everyone helping bring the Welcome Center to life!
