Some elements from the existing exhibits will be cleaned and reused, and signage will be replaced for both Centers. The visitor experience will be place-based, immersive, interactive, and informational. Each section will carry visitors through different aspects of each Center. The exhibits will engage a broad audience to celebrate the discoveries and unique ecology and cultural history of each Preserve. Realistic décor, scenery, and graphics will create the feeling of being inside different ecosystems. It will help visitors become familiar with the different plants and animals at the Preserves. Artifacts will showcase ancient Weedon Island culture and complement interpretation. Many low-tech, hands-on interactives will allow kids to engage easily scientific and historical content easily. Deliverable Set Five has been completed for both Centers, consisting of 60% design.
