The Betty Brinn Children's Museum is dedicated to
providing interactive exhibits and educational resources that promote
the healthy development of children in their formative years—from birth
through age ten. The Museum experience encourages hands-on learning and
the development of fundamental skills, self-esteem, and the ability to
work with others.
Conceptually designed by Betty Brinn
staff, the "House Under Construction" exhibit required DF to rapidly
produce comprehensive 3D modeling for client review and construction
documention. DF also undertook the exhibit's complete fabrication within
its studio/shop space, minimizing the interruption to the museum's daily
operations. Pre-assembly of components and connectors, designed for
elevators and easy transport, greatly facilitated a successful and
timely installation.
Based on the success of the exhibit's
fabrication and installation, DF was also contracted to design,
prototype, and install several of the integrated exhibit inter-actives.
These included hands-on electrical circuit and plumbing wall
featurettes.
