DG2 Design, in collaboration with JEMA, recently participated in the competition for Joplin’s new Veterans Memorial Park and American Legion Hall. This project envisions replacing the existing Memorial Hall with a vibrant community destination. The design preserves the historic stone portico of Memorial Hall, integrating it with a modern, transparent glass structure that will house the American Legion. DG2’s proposed park is designed as a space for gathering, reflection, and honoring U.S. military veterans, while introducing a lush, diverse landscape to enrich Joplin’s urban core.
