Construction and Design

The Indoor Experience is located at 151 St. George Boulevard. Hickok Cole, a Washington, D.C.-based architecture firm, designed the layout of the Indoor Experience’s 18,000 square feet. Washington, D.C.-based firm, rand*, was the general contractor for NCM’s Indoor Experience. Orr Partners of Reston, Virginia served as the overall project manager.

The Indoor Experience has two major exhibit areas: 3 & Under and Our World. Columbus, Ohio-based Roto Studio designed the 2,700 square foot 3 & Under exhibit space, and Boston-based Amaze Design was appointed to fabricate the 9,000 square foot Our World exhibit, way-finding signage and donor wall. Both firms specialize in museum exhibit design.

Famous quotes containing the words construction and/or design:

    The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    For I choose that my remembrances of him should be pleasing, affecting, religious. I will love him as a glorified friend, after the free way of friendship, and not pay him a stiff sign of respect, as men do to those whom they fear. A passage read from his discourses, a moving provocation to works like his, any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought, a flow of love, an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
