Design team previews interactive Civics Lab for Wyoming Capitol
Summary
Designers presented finalized visuals, furniture and interactive concepts for a new Civics Lab inside the Wyoming State Capitol, seeking approvals on graphic systems, furniture builds and a set of micro-interactives while describing plans for durability, maintenance and an educational ‘‘passport’’ experience for visitors and school groups.
Design contractors and Capitol staff presented a near-final build plan for the proposed Civics Lab inside the Wyoming State Capitol, showing how analog and digital interactives, furniture, color and typography will combine to teach visitors — especially schoolchildren — how state government works.
Designers said the project now emphasizes repeatable, maintainable elements: a passport booklet visitors can stamp at each station, small “micro-interactives” that can be serviced or re-skinned with vinyl, and larger two-person analog and digital interactives to explain the legislative, executive and judicial branches. Staff and designers requested approval to send furniture and selected interactive designs to engineering for production.
Why it matters: The Civics Lab is intended as a public-facing education space tied to school curricula and to broaden access to state government. Presenters said the design aims to be playful and durable, balancing hands-on experiences for children with deeper digital role-play interactives for older students and adults.
