Photo Shoot Sneak Peek

Last week we had a fun opportunity to soak in a little sun and partake in a studio photo shoot.

Not only did the weather cooperate for the outdoor portion of the shoot, but we were also able to stretch our legs and explore the City we know and love.

There are more pics where these came from. We will post more updates and photos soon!

Sky View Observatory: 360° of Wonder

"Bringing the view to life" was the vision that guided our design of the observatory experience. Located on the 73rd floor of Columbia Center, you feel a sense of awe when you see the view – it’s truly spectacular. 

Colorful exhibits tell a story about the building, city and region, designed to be fun and informative for visitors of all ages. Come to see more, and leave knowing more.

Special thanks to Design Director Kevin Reuter, Designer Monica Brennan, and Research Assistant, Katie Bausch for their great work on this project.
