Caribiner International was challenged with bringing the Home Depot brand, history, business, culture, and community involvement to life in a museum/learning center. The result was a 2,500-square-foot interactive museum divided into five dynamic zones, built entirely of Home Depot materials. Visitors physically travel deeper into the colorful Home Depot experience and brand, even as they learn specifics about the company and its history.
Jury Comment
An inspiringly effective corporate informational exhibit that reflects the content and spirit of the stores. Appeals to those who love stuff and love to see it organized. Perfectly appropriate.
