About

Northampton Borough Council awarded a contract to Vertigo for the design, build and installation of the temporary exhibition 'Trainers: A Global Obsession'.

The contract, valued at £37,500, covered the preparation of specifications and full working drawings, production and installation of 2D graphics, 3D construction on and off site, and 2D and 3D installation.

Vertigo was also responsible for all aspects of production, projection, installation and maintenance of AV, IT or other interactive elements during the exhibition's lifespan, as well as ongoing repairs.

The designer was required to consider acoustic implications to minimise sound spill and to check all site conditions and dimensions prior to manufacture to avoid on-site alterations.
