ANF worked closely with the Tennessee Historical Commission to design the 6,500 s.f. Alex Haley Interpretive Center and Museum on the site of the famous author’s former home in Henning, TN.
The Visitor’s Center was created to enhance the mission of the historic house and museum with a design that reflects the
architectural ‘roots’ of a small southern town.
The new building was carefully sited to preserve existing trees and provide emphasis on a new event lawn where an existing
parking lot was removed.
Sustainable strategies included green building products, providing shade with deep roof overhangs, and HVAC systems
designed to minimize energy consumption and reduce the client’s energy costs.
AWARDS:
• American Architecture Awards Finalist, 2010
• AIA Gulf States Merit Award, 2009
• AIA TN Merit Award, 2010
• MetalMag Magazine First Award, 2009
• MIT Honor Award, 2010
• American Library Association Literary Landmark, 2014
