[BCMA] The Alberni Project expansion

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello all.

I need your help as Google doesn't seem to understand what it is we are looking for.

We are expanding at an alarming rate here at TAP and we need to start looking at changing our display wall system so we have more flexibility in our small space (which occasionally expands into the Mall's common area).

TAP currently uses pop-up walls similar to those used in Trade Show application.  These work very well with our mobile exhibit unit that travels around Vancouver Island and looks great in our main exhibit space in Comox. Having black carpet on the walls makes it a cinch to put our panels up with velcro when we have to change the exhibit. However there is only  a few combinations of floor layouts using this type of wall.  

I have seen some amazing temporary wall systems in other museums which have an amazing amount of flexibility with lay out and stand alone uses, but finding the suppliers or manufactures of these various museum exhibit systems seems very elusive.

If you use a changeable wall display system in your museum, could you please let me know what company manufactures them.  Or if you have custom made systems, we would appreciate knowing how these systems work for you. (or if you have a system you no longer need and would like warehouse space, we would entertain taking it off your hands).

Short of going with an office supply store and purchasing office room dividers (or busting our annual budget for the next 6 years on an incredible system we located from Ireland) we don't know where to start looking into companies that manufacture museum wall systems in Canada.

at your service,
