To obtain approvals and manage production of a new, 1000 square foot exhibit gallery attached to the Boreal Centre on the actual breeding grounds of boreal birds.

  • There were only a few months to complete the entire production process

The Outcome

Double Dare worked with Karo Design throughout the design process to communicate final decisions to the exhibit fabrication team. This included over 50 graphic panels and artisanal features, including two dozen bird sculptures, two permanent forest features, and an oversized bird nest seating area. We were also on-hand during installation to solve site issues and manage last minute requests prior to the centre’s grand opening.

"We were under very tight timelines and all components identified were addressed, as indicated in our project timeline. Changes were instituted, and financial implications given for an new components or suggestions."
