Case Study: University of Nebraska Medical Center transforms historic library into an immersive heritage center with Dimensional Innovations

University of Nebraska Medical Center transforms a 3-floor heritage center with Dimensional Innovations

The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) sought to transform its historic Wittson Hall into the McGoogan Library Wigton Heritage Center, an immersive experience that balanced archival preservation with storytelling. The challenge for Dimensional Innovations was to create a multi-level space that educated visitors, honored the institution's legacy, and functioned as a secure, maintainable part of active campus life for a diverse audience including students, families, and donors.

Dimensional Innovations designed a strategic narrative framework that guided a three-floor experience, evolving from introductory digital displays to immersive historical exhibits and a refined executive space. The solution included museum-quality cases, digital portals, and interactive content. DI also supported UNMC's fundraising by producing materials that secured major donor investment, resulting in a future-proof experience that celebrates the university's legacy while supporting its ongoing mission.
