Highland Associates is currently working as Architect and Engineer to complete the renovation of the New Immigration Building and the Kitchen and Laundry Building located on Ellis Island. Highland is working closely with the National Park Service along with numerous consultants of the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Foundation to transform the two buildings into efficient and modern facilities.
The New Immigration Building will house the relocated National Park Service offices and operations which is moving from the first floor of the Kitchen and Laundry building. The first floor of the Kitchen and Laundry building will become an expansion of Immigration Museum that is located in the Main Building. This new expansion will be called “The Peopling of America Center”. Highland has developed a complete renovation plan that includes exterior restoration, interior architecture, exiting, emergency lighting, sprinkler, fire standpipe and HVAC systems. Highland is extremely proud to be part of this historic renovation.
