Museum Exhibit Design Services RFP
The Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS) has issued an RFP seeking exhibit design services for a new 100,000 square-foot history museum. Interested vendors must have the internal capacity to provide Architect/Engineer experience and an Exhibit Designer Team.
This exciting project is set to be located within close proximity to the State Capitol Square, in Madison. Firms must ensure:
- The design responds to/reflects the people, cultures and the sense of place of Wisconsin.
- The construction and selected materials stand the test of time; this should be a building with a 100-year lifespan.
- The design exhibits exceptional architecture in keeping with both its civic function and prominent location.
- Selected materials are of high quality and reflect Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region.
- A sense of arrival at the museum’s entrance and into a lobby that excites and invites visitors through its doors; further engendering the expectation of the special experiences to follow inside the building.
