Monmouth Battlefield State Park Visitor Center is a point of orientation and gateway to an historic battlefield that figured prominently in the American Revolutionary War. The Center places primacy on the landscape of the Battlefield as its most important artifact. Through its siting and generous use of large expanses of glass, the pavilion dramatically frames views of the Battlefield and engages the visitor.

Sited at the top of Combs Hill overlooking the Battlefield, the pavilion is conceived as a modern-day temple, elevated in its siting, but diminutive in its appearance. The one-story structure creates a cantilevered roof solar shade that frames views and protects the exhibits from the sun. Sustainable features include triple-glazed low-e laminated glazing, geothermal heating and cooling, and rainwater collection that is channeled into a rain garden at entry. Natural grasses and flora were also planted adjacent to the structure to minimize maintenance and encourage indigenous birds and reptiles to live on top of Combs Hill again.
