Ceiling Tiles Program
Engineer Ceiling Tiles Celebrating our 250 Year History.
Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri is the home of the U.S. Army Engineers. The Engineer Regiment will celebrate its 250th Birthday in June 2025. The Engineer Museum would like to tell the story of the U.S. Army Engineers, both military and civilian and our USACE Industry Partners who contributed to our Nation and our Army.
Where are the ceiling tiles being displayed?
The ceiling in the Essayons room in the museum is composed of a raised ceiling with 144 wooden tiles with each being 18 x 18 inches in size.
We would like to mirror the concept of the USACE History Poster on the Essayons room at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. We would like to tell the store of the Engineer Soldiers, USACE, and Industry Partners and their accomplishments of the last 250 years of the U.S. Army Engineers.
What will be on the ceiling tiles?
Each ceiling tile would represent a significant mission, a tremendous accomplishment, or a tremendous sacrifice that represents a milestone in the history of the Engineers.
The tile would be engraved to capture that event and be supported by further explanation by the Engineer Museum to place the event in context.
