It is recently announced that the ground-breaking ceremony for the new building at the Patricia and Philip Frost Museum of Science has now taken place, giving Visual Acuity the chance to start work on the next phase of a project that looks set to capture the imagination of the architectural, technology and audiovisual communities worldwide. Formerly the Miami Science Museum, the new museum is on track to open in 2015.
At InfoComm 2012 in Las Vegas the technology design team met with the major technology suppliers and integrators to brief them on the project and to explain the groundbreaking link between the building, its exhibits and its users which is to be enabled by network based technologies.Â
“Working together with Grimshaw, our aim is for the building to be fully intelligent, with networked systems that can be operated remotely from anywhere in the building. As well as its symbolic significance, the ground-breaking ceremony is important to us because it signals the next phase of the project – the preparation of technical systems and opening discussions with the technology supply community,”explains Blair Parkin, MD, Visual Acuity.
“We are delighted to be working with Visual Acuity on the delivery of a building that we believe will take the museum-going experience to a completely new level. Our aim is to make sure that every aspect of the building, its infrastructure, programs and services offers an opportunity for enjoyable learning, highlights innovation and opens doors to new careers for the future,”said Gillian Thomas, President and CEO of the museum.
