Display Cases in Alaska State Library and Archives | Zone Display Cases

In 2015-2016, Zone Display Cases was commissioned to design, build and install nearly a hundred museum quality archival display cases for the SLAM project, an acronym that stands for State Library, Archives and Museum, in Juneau, Alaska.

When entering or leaving the galleries, a gigantic and unique 20 ft. long by 17 ft. tall glass display enclosure is exhibited, built and installed by Zone.

Challenge

The main challenge was to deliver and install the numerous cases in Juneau, Alaska, during the Holiday Season. Over 25 full truck loads made their way across Canada andup to Alaska via sea freight, with 15 weeks of installation.

Solution

Because the installation was scheduled to take between 3 and 4 months, teams of 6 to 10 people were alternated for this long journey. The partnership with a local carrier was also key to delivering this project.
