Capacity Building

An indoor exhibit space with large windows and bright daylight coming in from outside. In the foreground is a large illuminated interactive table displaying a colorful underwater scene with rocks, sea plants, and marine life imagery. Sina Bahram, a Persian man, leans over the display and reaches down to touch what appears to be a flat screen. next to him, Maria Braswell, a white woman, is in mid sentence, while Hagen Tilp, a whiteman watches from the right. Emerging from a large boulder at the edge of the table and cutting across the surface is a dark textured bronze sculpture resembling seaweed.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

PAC helped Monterey Bay Aquarium build inclusive design capacity through workshops, a five-year Inclusive Design Roadmap, physical prototyping, and theatre accessibility guidance, establishing a practical foundation for embedding access across exhibits, programs, staff tools, and visitor experiences.
