Colorado State University
- Fort Collins, Colorado
- Designed by Studio Tectonic
The Department of Biology building at Colorado State University (CSU) features unique and immersive exhibits that encompass a range of custom wall-mounted elements and lighting effects. The elements include graphic backer panels, glass writing walls, massive edge-lit photos, and multiple display cases. ACME partnered closely with Studio Tectonic, the exhibit designer and planner of this project, as the exhibit fabricator and played a key role in translating their design from concept to reality.
Custom Exhibits
To build the exhibits, ACME utilized an extensive amount of beetle kill pine sourced locally within Colorado. Housed within the exhibits are hundreds of artifacts ranging from butterflies and pinecones to a life-size bear, all mounted by Mark Gostnell. Additionally, a unique feature of the space was the integration of mobile device controlled exhibit lighting, allowing for color change and power control.
