“To create a rural museum that embodies the community’s history and spirit of St. John”
MISSION STATEMENT
5
1. Enhance the community’s pride, independence, and spirit.
2. Engage the community through the preservation of the monumental history of St. John.
3. Create an educational environment which encourages all ages to interact with the past.
4. Honor the historical events that have taken place in St. John.
Goalsof museum
6
Senior Interior Design students at Washington State University working with the RCDI will propose a design for a historical museum in the rural town of St. John, Washington. The community wishes to adapt an existing space on the historic main street for the preservation of St. John’s history and proud community spirit.
The designated building for the museum was a historic pharmacy from the turn of the centry that is between the modern city hall and historic insurance company. The museum space has an unfinished interior that is in the process of renovation for the purpose of installing a museum. The community has been generously giving their time and resources to complete the museum.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
7
The design team will interpret the needs of the community through co-design and regularly meetings with the clients. This design will take into consideration: museum design guidelines, the existing space’s condition, adaptive reuse of the building, building codes, and how people will interact and experience the space. Further, it shall give creative options for space layouts, materials, and experiences for each viewer.
This museum will have a small gallery with rotating exhibits as well as engaging static installations. The main gallery entrance invites vistors to explore the space, beginning with an engaging timeline of St. John’s history and early families. The timeline of St. John’s history incorporates world events and local artifacts beginning with the first inhabitants to modern day. The timeline will provide a significant resource planning inspiring new funds, and energies to the completion, including fund raisers and volunteer labor of the completion.
8
A Veterans corner allows for quiet relflection on the courageous pilots from St. John who fought in WWII and the Vietnam War. A gift of three large paintings on the subject of Steptoe battles from the artist Nona Hengen will be displayed in a cozy corner at the end of the contemporary period of the timeline. A genealogy corner allows people to research their ancestors on the internet or in old books at a desk or on a comfortable couch. The historic character and materials are important in the preservation of this building and the finished museum. Original brick on the East wall is to be left exposed, the historic storefront adapted and kept, and glass block sidelights and front door all kept in their original state. The museum will have a modern rustic design aesthetic. The design should respect and carefully include these things and the buildings character.
The final presentation includes physical space plans that include a design for a gallery space, storage, and archival space. Consideration is given to layout, flexible exhibition spaces, traffic flow, viewing experience, ADA/universal design, ceiling systems, lighting, finishes. Also taken into the design considerations is the main access to the museum through the city hall, and monitoring security from here.

RESEARCH
1. Motivate Visitors:Target an audience — the general public and/or specific communities (1)2. Focus Content:Filter content so visitors are not bombarded with information overload (1)3. Immersion:Engage visitors within a “story” (1)4. Modularity:Present smaller themes instead of one larger complex topic (1)5. Skimmability:Information should be easy to take in because visitors are often standing and/or have different levels of education (1)
6. Patterns:Incorporate traffic/circulation patterns, exhibit sequence patterns and pre-existing framework patterns (architectural elements) (1)7. Capture Curiosity:Use storytelling techniques to engage visitors (1)8. Interaction:Give visitors a “fun” experience by tapping into their emotion (1)9. Integrate Technology:Technology should enhance visitor’s experience, not detract from it (1)10.

PHOTO BOOTH:Seattle Art Museum: Vintage photo booth, I like that the people visiting can leave behind their picture if they chose
Not so literally the photo booth, but to take a picture in front of a historic backdrop with photo props.Display Design:SCAD Museum: I like the spatial layout of this museum; the guests have to weave in and out to see the art. They are guided though the space. The wall color is interesting too Chihuly Makes a play on light, rising and setting sun

RESEARCHElizabeth Gay Hunt . “STUDY OF MUSEUM LIGHTING AND DESIGN” May 2009https://digital.library.txstate.edu/bitstream/handle/10877/3203/fulltext.pdf
“For a museum, the role of light is an essential part of creating an atmosphere prime for discovery, while also preserving artifacts. This can be a very difficult balancing act between meeting preservation needs and forming interactive experiences that achieve the goal of the museum–a place to discover, explore and learn”(p. 6)
“Illumination Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) provides parameters and standards for lighting design in a museum to ensure safety, preserve artifacts, and create an interactive experience for guests of all ages”(p.6)
“Museum designs incorporate daylight because humans relate to nature”(p.6).“Factors such as reflection, glare, acclimation and delineation in the space should be analyzed closely” (7).“Natural light has a high light output and contains very high concentra-tions of Ultraviolet rays. These UV rays are known to damage textiles and artifacts” (p. 8).“IESNA standards range from five to 30 foot-candles depending on the type of artifact (RP-30-96, 14, 1996).” (8).

A cable-based solution deployed from commercial strength open-faced track. Use either transparent nylon, or stronger steel cables. The cable hanging system is the perfect picture hanging solu-tion for art displays, and particularly in galleries and museums, since these rails can support 300 lbs per track length.
The use of cables for hanging pictures is less obtrusive than rods, which are also compatible with these tracks. The open face track design makes this system more convenient than our more discreet systems when used in rapidly changing decors. Either nylon or steel cables may be used with this system of wire hanging pictures.
