The design of the museum seeks to capture the spirit of "place."  The essence of the Sandhills and life that exists within it become a central theme of the structure.  The geology of the Sandhills is depicted in the concrete walls with exposed local aggregates.  The large truss on the northeast corner cantilevers 72 feet and mimics the idea of a natural sand blowout.  The overall size of the museum is 19,120 square feet and houses a classroom and orientation room with a complete audio/visual system for presentations.  The lower floor houses a catering kitchen, banquet room, collection storage and building services.
