The Gallery

The Gallery has provided the Xavier community with a place to learn, reflect and marvel at the achievements of a group of extremely brave, caring, visionaries. It also provides an effective tool for student recruitment, as high school tour groups have made it a stop on their Xavier agenda.

what we did

Discovery

Initially, the Xavier Story Project team planned to display on only one wall, but then Xavier offered us a spacious open room at the heart of its University Center, which allowed us to be more ambitious in our design. Our resources were a 20-min video, a collection of historic photos/docs and the digital Xavier Alumni Map. GPM advised and supported the project’s directors as they designed and constructed four distinct “stations” around the room, as well as a continuously-playing 12.5-foot video projection and interactive tablets loaded with the Xavier Alumni Map.

Visual Identity and Displays

The Xavier Story Project's three roll-out projects—websitemap and gallery—needed to share a common visual identity. We projected the digital styling onto Xavier's walls through constellations featuring info panels and imagery, striving to create an ambiance of tasteful reflection which engaged visitors
