Designed for W. L. Gore & Associates, the Capabilities Center provides a comprehensive spatial and interpretative experience Designed in collaboration with Bluecadet, visitors engage in a sequence of interactive experiences that evoke Gore’s capabilities, culture, and commitment to innovation.
Visitors enter the center through a sculptural corridor lined with custom milled panels featuring integrated, motion-triggered lighting elements. The CNC-milled plywood panels lead visitors through a guided experience from raw material to highly-processed product, serving as a metaphor for W. L Gore’s material science capabilities and product innovation.
The passageway leads into the large central exhibition space where themes, materials, and visual effects that recur throughout the Capabilities Center are introduced.
The Advanced Materials Spiral is a theatre space with dynamic multi-directional sound and lighting that offers visitors an immersive hands-on experience with an array of Gore product samples.
