The Gathering House is a pavilion and a new educational conference center for visitor orientation and assembly on the grounds of the Menokin Foundation in the Tidewater region of Virginia. It is designed to support the educational goals and the steadily increasing number of visitors, scholars, and artists that travel to Foundation grounds to learn about the former plantation at Menokin and observe the ongoing conservation and construction work on the Menokin house ruin and grounds. The Gathering House is one of three building projects designed by REID architecture for Menokin’s educational campus and a critical component in Menokin’s strategic plan.
The construction of the Gathering House has an educational component since it will serve as a demonstration and an example of mass timber construction. Menokin has positioned itself as a center of Building Technology and the Building Arts to showcase state of the art conservation techniques and new construction technology. The use of large Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels as the building’s primary structure aligns with the foundation’s approach to sustainability. The form, materials, and design of the Gathering House draw on local vernacular typologies to relate to the open agricultural setting and site history.
