Whitaker Center

Seven years after opening day, the original exhibits at the science center in Harrisburg were ready for replacement, so Whitaker Center chose Roto Studio to develop a comprehensive master plan to guide this process.  The Plan required extensive evaluation of current exhibits and programs, facility wayfinding assessment and architectural recommendations, and the development of 5 new exhibit theme "destinations."  Completed in 2007, the Master Plan has guided the implementation of the first 4 projects, each contracted for design and production to Roto Studio on the strength of consistent past performance.

“We prefer working with Roto because they really understand how to build exhibits that visitors like and learn from.”   -- Steve Bishop, Vice President
