   Back to case studies

Completed

THE STORY SPACE

The Historic Dockyard is a 32 hectare heritage site with over 100 buildings and structures. It sits at the heart of a wider group of related ‘Chatham Dockyard and its Defences’ sites all of which fall within Conservation Areas and are characterised by high concentrations of Scheduled Ancient Monuments and/or Grade I and II* Listed Buildings.

THE STORY ENGINEERING

The collaboration of audio visual exhibits and long-hidden archeological objects combine to deliver an immersive experience where visitors discover how Chatham Dockyard and its people helped lead Britain to worldwide influence.

The Discovery Centre blends a large scale overhead projection with a topographical model to create a single canvas animating this exhibit. An impressive Command of the Oceans show is creatively delivered by 4 synchronised projections and throughout the visitor experience, slideshows, tablet stations and cinema experiences capture the incredible history of the site.
