Design
BioGlobe can provide a custom built, fully engineered, exhibit to meet any architectural or design requirements. We have worked with some of the worlds top architectural firms to design world-class science exhibits. Our specialty has been in science and aquatic related exhibits as well as biological displays, and consultations for aquatic related projects and other exhibits.
Since the first Exhibition BioGlobe was created we have offered a turnkey system complete with custom pedestals to match any color scheme or decor. Our designs involves working closely with the exhibit designers. We strongly recommend close collaboration with the exhibit designers at the conceptual stage of your program.
Considerations such as material, color scheme, and traffic level must be given to the design and construction of these custom pedestals used to support the Exhibition BioGlobe. We have built many units to withstand low and high traffic areas from corporate office environments to extreme high traffic areas for millions of viewers. The basics are:
- A metal support stand
- A "Ring Seat" to support the glass appropriately
- The custom made glass sphere
- The internal core of the sphere
- The biologics (shrimp, algae, sea water mix)<
- A color, material, or decor theme for the outer shell pedestal
All these items will come together as a world class exhibit or display in your facility. Let us know what we can do to assist in your decision making. We have full engineering and architectural capabilities to offer for any scale exhibit.
Pedestal Base Options
Shown above is the standard internal steel support pedestal ( red primer) for a 30" diameter Exhibition BioGlobe. These structures are standard on the 24", 30", 39" diameter units. They are usually anchored to the floor. Afterwards the outer custom shell pedestal is set over the steel support (graphics and light boxes can be added).
Custom Pedestal Bases
Custom pedestal bases can be designed and built to your specifications. Approximately 42" tall, these bases can be built to fit any decor or design theme required. They can be built from cultured marble, wood, or Formica®. Prices vary depending on the material and design specified. Custom pedestals are quoted separately. Please allow 8 to 14 weeks for delivery. Other options include; a rotating pedestal, graphics, lights and overhead lighting, and audio EPROM loop recordings.
Rotating Pedestal
Pedestal with Audio
With years of experience in building exhibits, we know we can build a pedestal for your particular facility requirements. Materials we are familiar with and have used in past designs include, Formica,® Corian,® Avonite,® Stainless Steel, Hard Wood, and Acrylic.
Custom Pedestal Construction
Historically, each project we've built has had some degree of customization. Your project will need to look unique to your environment and that's what we can do by customizing the outer pedestal to fit your design. We can provide the basics, you give us your ideas, themes, and locations we'll do the rest.
