Info

Jeff Kennedy Associates, Inc. is an interdisciplinary design firm specializing in the planning and design of innovative learning environments for science-technology centers, museums, informal education centers and corporations. Since 1983 we have developed a highly collaborative, team-based approach to projects, working closely with our clients to help them realize their institutional missions, educational and operational goals. Our firm is one of the few in the nation with depth of experience and expertise in both themed immersion environments and interactive exhibits that engage visitors in hands-on, bodies-on, senses-on learning. Jeff Kennedy's "User Friendly: Hands-On Exhibits That Work," written through a grant from the Institute for Museum & Library Services, has become a standard reference tool in the fields of interactive and universal design. Our work can be seen in settings as varied as the New York Hall of Science, Chicago's Adler Planetarium, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley. In each case, we have created experiences that bring people together, connecting them with ideas, and with each other. Good exhibit design is about the people who come to exhibits: what they respond to, how they move through a space, why they linger. The experiences we remember best are those that engage our minds, senses and emotions, no matter who weare or how we learn.
