Top 5 History Walls of 2021

History walls require a lot of navigation, strategy, and planning. They require more ‘hands-on’ collaboration to compile all the necessary records, details, and images. A team to review, edit and approve the details included. In addition to all of that, history walls need to tell a story and provide context for the reader, visitor, or audience to understand the impact made by the company's history or series of events being depicted. If you're thinking about a history wall, here's a good place to start.

These 5 history walls took dedicated teams on all sides of the project: client, design, manufacturing, installation. Our team and clients worked so hard to complete all the tasks needed to make these walls come to life and we’re so fortunate to have great partners like these.
