Brightsign Statue of Liberty Museum Case Study FINAL
BrightSign Media Players Deliver Immersive Experiences at New Statue of Liberty Museum While Protecting AV Infrastructure Against Unexpected Downtime The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc. recently completed a $100M beautification project on Liberty Island – the centerpiece of which was construction of the new Statue of Liberty Museum. The five-year project entailed close collaboration with the National Park Service/U.S. Department of the Interior to design and construct the 26,000-square- foot museum, whose stone-and-glass construction embraces modern design while seamlessly blending with the island’s timeless beauty. Exhibit designer ESI Design brought in AV integrator Diversified to design and implement the museum’s extensive AV network. Diversified project manager Carol Feeley-Vario commented on how the museum’s location heavily influenced her firm’s approach to the project: “While Liberty Island may appear as if it’s just a stone’s throw away from New York City, we needed to bear in mind the practical remoteness of the site. Any service visit would require working within the parameters of ferry schedules and visitation hours – which is why we went to great lengths to build redundancies into the system that would all but eliminate the need to conduct repairs on-site.” With network reliability as a top priority, Diversified deployed more than 80 BrightSign media players at various points in the museum. And while BrightSign’s hardware is responsible for distributing content to dozens of displays throughout the museum, perhaps the most critical role BrightSign plays in the museum is that of fail-over.
