About the Philip E. Batt Education Building

Growth at the Center

For over two decades, the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights has proudly served Idaho educators, students, and communities. 

The scope of our programming and resources has grown dramatically. To better serve Idaho’s classrooms and communities, our offerings and facilities must grow too. In summer 2024, all aspects of daily operations and programming were brought into one comprehensive education building.

Adjacent to the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial and named after former Idaho Governor Philip E. Batt, who championed decency and human rights issues, the building houses a 3,500 square foot first-floor complex of offices, staff workspace, storage, public gathering for docent-led tours of the Memorial, and gift shop.
