An Executive Briefing Center for IBM in Research Triangle Park Messaging Experience
Messaging Premise Today’s IBM positioning as Innovator, as well as longer held brand positions of Inventor, Leader, Industry Benchmark, would demand that the messaging for this EBC reflect those positions. This messaging master plan presumes a continuation of the precedents at Tucson and San Jose in the use of digitally printed muralistic displays and passive graphic techniques applied at key locations. The messages for a tech sector brand should also involve technology. Some aspect of on-screen media should be deployed. As well, the hardware should be bulletproof; any interactivity must be bug-free. The deployment of screens and monitors needs to be balanced with a site realistic ability to create content for Day 1 (and readily refresh content on Day 100 and Day 1000).

Messaging Master Plan A master plan often presumes a phased execution. This EBC can layer on messaging in phases in a number of options: If we rely on digital output, the “press print” solution, we can execute computer files for message designs intended for full build out and store each of them digitally until it’s their turn for install. We then press print in each phase, as needed. This approach assures consistency via one-time authoring. If project phasing requires deconstruction as well as additive construction, the message vehicles can be designed to be easily removed and relocated with each phase. Or they can be composed to be rescaled easily and cropped easily without loss of meaning. For this concept to succeed, the art authored need easily adapt to changes in surface, shape and dimensions.

Scripted Campus Experience Possibilities Scripting
Imagine walking up to a large wall display, say 3.5’ wide by 6’ high. The headline reads, “You Are Here @ RTP” and in an expectant way, the display offers you a large wayfinding floor plan. And it’s color-coded to suit the building palette. You’ll offer these because they are time savers for busy people and educational tools as to who and whom lives where. Down the hall you see a similar layout in an identical sized display. But upon approach, you see it is a collage of IBM RTP historical imagery with a brief text about the great milestones in computational science that have taken place here on this very site: a promotion of pride in your inherited legacy. There are actually 5 variations of historical “you are here’s” and in that number you don’t become blind to them after first viewing because they are mounted to the wall in a way that allows for easy rotation and/or relocation over time. As you travel to another area, you see another very similar poster but its message is “You Are Here at IBM, Global Leader” and the display is the values. On another is the corporate vision. Or mission. Two or three of similar look so we recognize them by topic, but the variety allows these a longer life via rotation and relocation. In another building, “You Are Here @ RTP” offers content specific to your campus and its uniqueness within IBM. There are three or four of these as well. Each with distinct claiming statements and pride points. Perhaps one is a heroic vision message from the site manager. One more series of posters touts “You Are Here @ Tomorrow” with a services version, hardware version, and software version. Each is a rich visual image specific to that IBM offering with a few “future holds this” adjectives artfully displayed. Again, rotatable and repositionable. If you have ad campaigns, use the ads blown up large.
Spatial Context: Your orientation in dimensional space
“You Are Here” wayfinding displays and placenaming messages
Temporal Context: Your orientation in linear time
“You Are Here” amidst rich history messages “You Are Here” in the midst of today’s global leader messages “You Are Here” on the cusp of great tomorrows messages
So far, we have experienced in our daily worklife messages about: “You Are Here” wayfinding displays; “You Are Here” amidst rich history; “You Are Here” in the midst of today’s global leader; “You Are Here” on the cusp of great tomorrows. All so similar they feel like a campaign (and can be mass produced economically). All so cohesive the sum is greater than the parts. Sprinkled strategically across the floor plates with a locational database that keeps track of their rotated histories. These digital authorings display content strategized for long shelf life but when needed, we can insert cursor and edit and press plot to achieve a revised message. One last idea is that you include bulletin boards with this same construct. The image is intended to work in full view or covered with postings and here the headline is annotated with the word “special”: You Are (Special) Here. You can live the IBM work lifestyle to the fullest in these ad hoc postings from your colleagues. IBM RTP staff may know best how to seed these across the campus. If well chosen, the project can avoid wall prep or additional lighting (though lighting is a key!). One can imagine creating all the layouts with Henry Ford efficiency. This initiative can use pictorial content you already have (or we have from our IBM EBC work). This is a clear vision for a high impact display campaign with long shelf life and an affordable cost. The result would explain the building, celebrate the site, promote the enterprise, and co-star the reader. A pride in both time and place.

You Are Here Scripted Experience
A Floor Plan Designed for Positioning Visitor Experiences The Executive Briefing Center is located on the IBM Campus inside Research Triangle Park. The Software EBC is located on the first floor adjacent to the visitor entrance and main lobby of IBM Building 002.
At RTP, glass doors (or windows) into each briefing room present software code that would be used in a GPS application for that city, with the city (room) name dominant in the art, since it both identifies the room and celebrates the city. On the room side of the door would be a recognizable, real life landmark imagery from that city. This sandwich of middleware-like code and “whereware” place imagery is an overarching theme for telling the middleware story. On the hall side of the EBC is the computational imagery and on the opposite side of the wall, inside the briefing rooms, are the images of real life commerce that IBM middleware enables. Those inside-the-room images celebrate technology enabled aviation, medicine, finance, manufacturing, etc. (whatever each city/room is known for is emphasized in the mural art in that room). Inside the room these “whereware” murals are on the back wall so as not to distract from the visual media of briefings. Ideally, they are a linear band (perhaps at exact height of building windows). The hall side middleware mural uses the angled walls starting at the reception to visually express what middleware means in colorful art and words. We might think of it as a “visual line of code” in its linear, horizontal presentation. The accent wall in the informal dining area might deviate from the constraint of the window lines and present a floor to ceiling visual display, perhaps accented with monitors. The content for this location would be a summation of the smaller walls and an extrapolation on the larger walls, taking us beyond RTP or beyond the software silo.
EBC Entry
Building 002 Lobby
The large glass walls on either side of the dining corridor mimic prior EBC treatments of frosted glass. Sprinkled bits of frosted vinyl art on the privacy booths play into the floor-to-ceiling translucent art applique, screening the glass dining room walls and preventing direct views into the diners yet still transmitting light. On the actual building envelope glass along the formal dining room wall, we might consider a frosted vinyl art pattern not unlike what we used at prior EBC’s. Light comes in and clear glass remains in random spots but one’s view is shepherded back inside the room (plus, it is not an exciting vista outside this window). This thinking extends to the three bays of exterior windows in the reception seating area. Should landscaping on the exterior resolve the view, mechanical shades might be the only requirement.
There is, I believe, a good niche for good art in the EBC entryway. I would imagine we pass by it so quickly we need not try to seed marketing messages here. Coincidentally there is existing art in the five IBM software colors that could be displayed here along with an upgrade in accent lighting. I think the logo does find a home behind the reception desk. I would imagine its presentation is elegant in metal, though neutral in color. A background material might carry inside the EBC similar to that which occurs above the EBC entry doors in the lobby scheme: same or similar glass [and light] treatment. Another option here would be a video monitor that displays both IBM identity as well as welcome messages and meeting agendas.

Overview of Thematic Environment Distribution of Messages Across the Environment Messaging Solution Our approach to graphic design for this Executive Briefing Center was to visually illustrate the “behind the scenes” aspect of “middleware” and integrate a strong homage to the local cities and universities that comprise Research Triangle Park. A grid based on the “powers of 2” was used throughout the space to provide a scalable, structured element for visual interconnectivity across all the various graphics.
