About the Project

OES was contracted to provide a re-invention of an existing permanent exhibition located in the old Federal Building, now on the National Register. A complete renovation of the existing gallery was necessary to create the new, permanent exhibition entitled, "A Landmark Reclaimed: From Federal Building to Community Icon." The exhibition chronicles the history of Landmark Center and the people who made it the community icon it is today.

​

OES worked closely with the staff to help redefine the exhibition, both in terms of content and its purpose. Once a pass-through stop on the greater building tour, the exhibition is now the end point for such tours, and fulfills its purpose as a stand-alone exhibition experience as well.
