Visitors Center Interpretive Displays & Waysides

Permanent exhibit space built to resemble the World War 2 internment center that once existed on this site. Manzanar is the site of an annual pilgrimage for people once interned here and their families. This exhibit is very personal and incorporates photos and objects from people who make this annual pilgrimage.

This exhibit features enormous fabric graphic backdrops, large digital graphic panels, flipbooks, replica guard tower and barracks, several audio-video interactives, sealed artifact cases, custom lighting, and silk-screened text panels.

The space of this exhibit was used to convey to visitors how integral the New River has been and continues to be to our daily lives. As it discovers the human history that evolved around the river it also explores environmental issues, natural history and its many uses.

This exhibit center relays a more polished look that withstands the corrosive salt air of Saint John.

Phenolic resin graphical panels and a 3D fiberglass topographical map were used to accomplish this. This center also features natural history dioramas, flip door interactives and sealed artifact mounts within cases.

Exterior interpretive panels were desired and needed to be extremely durable yet fit into the natural scene.

The elements featured here are porcelain enamel graphic panels fastened to Coreten steel framing, life size bronze sculptures highlighting some of the parks natural wildlife and a 3D fiberglass topographic map.

This eloquently executed exhibit and exterior panels served as a "self-service center" to visitors of this park. Inside digital graphics showcase unique features of the park landscape and help educate the visitor on his trip.

The exterior elements of this exhibit featured fiberglass interpretive and map panels in water cut Coreten steel frames.

Important features of this exhibit were to be self-guided and durable enough to hold up to the corrosive salt air to which every element of the exhibit would be exposed.

This exhibit features porcelain enamel graphic panels mounted to mahogany structures, digital graphics, sealed artifact cases, flipbooks, a scaled replica of the casement walls with garita, audio visual components, an enormous sealed security case housing the ships model.

A visitor can enter this microcosm exhibit and walk along custom cement tiles that were specifically designed and fabricated by Color-Ad to suggest a river. Through life size dioramas along the riverbank it proposes what one might encounter on that journey.

A visitor can address the social and natural history of the area through ceiling suspended digital graphic panels as well as ones that line the walls along the path. Interactive flip doors and copper detailing is integrated throughout.

With an intimate feel of this visitor's center it details the highlights of the social and natural history of the park.

This innovative natural history recreation features highly detailed life-like models of mammals, fish, fowl and reptiles along with replicated logs that have custom built in drawers. An LED fiberglass interactive topographical map, question and answer flip doors and audio-visual programs are surrounded with wall size digital graphic panels.

Life size fossil diorama depicts life and death at the Agate waterhole, 19.2 million years in the past. An interactive computer tour offers visitors a glimpse of things to be seen on the monument's two trails. About 200 artifacts including beautiful bead and quill work are displayed in The James H. Cook Collection Gallery, "A Window Into Lakota Life." Preservation and protection of all of these incredibly rare pieces was obviously of utmost importance in the creation of these exhibits.
