This project included the renovation of Nauticus exhibit spaces, first-floor lobby, and the modifications to PME systems to accommodate the exhibit space renovations. The “Reimagine Nauticus” campaign intrinsically ties the organization together with its community through (1) STEM-focused programming, (2) relevant and compelling interactive exhibits, and (3) an exploration of real-world jobs and career opportunities.
