SOUTH DOWNS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY

CLIENT

The South Downs National Park combines a biodiverse landscape with bustling towns and villages covering an area of over 1,600km2 and is home to more than 110,400 people.

The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) is the organisation responsible for promoting the purposes of the National Park and the interests of the people who live and work within it.

ASSESS

South Downs National Park Authority were opening a new Exhibition at their main visitor centre based in Midhurst, UK. The purpose of the exhibition is to be the focal starting point for visitors wanting to explore the National Park. It introduces visitors to the South Downs’ landscapes, geology, produce and heritage.

South Downs wanted this exhibition to be interactive and have the ability to change content for visitors on a regular basis. They wanted to use touch tablets for users to explore what the South Downs had to offer and also needed a solution, for one of their exhibition rooms, that would only play content when someone entered the room.

Also provided were two large commercial grade Samsung displays, that were built into two of the stands by exhibition designers Fitzpatrick Woolmer.
