Display Cases in Lilly Library

Challenge

This project posed challenges on several levels. The recessed wall cases with gigantic 10-ft. wide doors incorporated a variety of rather unusual elements, particularly with the lighting and shelving systems, in an effort to maximize the flexibility of the display cases.

Aside from the design and construction complexity, this project was to be delivered within an extremely tight timeline, adding pressure at all levels during the project, on top of the unusual conditions and challenges caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Solutions

The quality and efficiency of the communications between Zone, IKD and Lilly Library was of crucial importance to complete this project on time.

The installation team was also well prepared and trained to complete the installation as quickly as possible, with a project handover barely a couple days before the library’ special event.
