Tryba was engaged in this project during the Schematic Design phase in transition from the Office of the University Architect. Time was of the essence as the University had committed to hosting an upcoming NCAA tournament in its new stadium. A strategic recommendation to temporarily engage the University Project Architect ensured a smooth transition. This partnership was utilized on two other projects concurrently, and upon successful completion, the Project Architect returned to the Office of the University Architect.

Projection: Objects Exhibit Introduction
Zoom In: The Centennial State in 100 Objects occupies a newly renovated gallery on the third floor of the History Colorado Center. The new gallery space is located within a four-story vertical stack of collections storage/registration and offices known as the ‘collections core’ of the museum. The exhibit invites visitors to encounter the collections in a new way. The exhibit features objects from the History Colorado collection. Dramatic, focused exhibit lighting, paired with individual exhibit cases results in a ‘Jewel Box’ effect, with the objects as the clear point of focus for visitors. The design is driven by a commitment to present the objects, and the stories they represent, to the visitor in a clear and arresting way. The exhibit balances the individuality of each object with subgroupings and themes that connect groupings of objects through time. Localized interpretation at each object provides an introduction to visitors about the rich stories each object represents. Three immersive projections provide a visual interpretive framework for the exhibit: Objects, Land and People.
