Services

•We offer real experience in the management and operation of science centers. Few exhibition design firms have staff with high-level science museum management experience.

•We are an experienced design and planning team specializing in interactive exhibitions. We have visualization capabilities and presentation and planning tools to execute projects from concept through implementation, final installation and opening day.

•We have a proprietary staffing and operations model that is invaluable in testing assumptions about staffing levels and operational expenses.

•We have broad knowledge of the current state of the field.  We have visited, photographically documented and to varying degrees, evaluated the buildings and exhibitions of many science centers worldwide, including museums in the US, Europe and a few in Asia.

•We intimately understand the operational necessities of a science center and can effectively communicate these to the architects and engineers engaged in designing the building.

•We have the cost estimating and contract negotiation skills, backed up by ample experience, to accurately predict the costs of exhibition design, fabrication and installation.

•We have demonstrated success in managing multi-million dollar exhibitions from start to finish – with a record of on time and below budget completions.

•We know a tremendous amount about how electro/mechanical exhibits work – we understand literally the ‘nuts & bolts’ of interactive exhibit design because we have invented them, built them, tested them, repaired and refined them.  And not just one, or two but more than one hundred different hands-on exhibits: exhibits that have been used by hundreds of thousands of visitors over the years. 

•Our experience allows us to anticipate problems and to prepare for or prevent them.
