Beadle Center - University of Nebraska, Lincoln
Informational & Educational Kiosk
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln wanted a way to provide information to the students and visitors of the new Beadle Center for Genetics & Biomaterials Research but did not want the look of most traditional kiosks to disrupt the style and architecture of the new facility. Instead the university wanted something that would serve as both an information center and a piece of the buildings overall environment.
Nanonation provided the answer in the form of an information kiosk designed in the shape of an 11-foot tall DNA helix. The "living" interactive sculpture, located in the lobby's three-story atrium, showcases the many programs and accomplishments of the faculty, staff, and students who work and study at the Beadle Center. The steel structure, envisioned by Nanonation and created by local artist/sculptor Todd Miller, houses multiple mini-monitors that display a variety of media loops that constantly change the look and feel of the sculpture. A large 20-inch touch screen enables users to interact with various information sources, from video clips to Internet resources to maps of the University campus. Nanonation designed the user interface for the UNL project and led the design of the sculpture itself.
