Capitol Visitor Center's "Wall of Inspirations"
In the Exhibition Hall (EH), workers continue to assemble the steel framework that will support the marble “Wall of
Aspirations,” which will house 40 to 50 historic documents down the center of the EH. Workers are installing insulated
tubular air duct below the floor grid and the duct now reaches some of the document window locations within the Unistrut
system.
