Middlebury College Athletic History Wall

Middlebury College Virtue Athletic Center

Bringing a century of school spirit to life.

Overview

Middlebury College has an athletic tradition dating back to the late 1800s, but its history was trapped in archives. When the college built a new state-of-the-art Field House, they didn't just want a hallway of trophies; they wanted a living timeline. We created an interactive experience that transforms a static list of wins into a dynamic celebration of the community, allowing alumni and students to see themselves as part of the same winning team.

The Details

We moved beyond the standard "hall of fame" plaque system to create a fluid, explorable database of over 6,000 images. Instead of just organizing by year, we created narrative threads that let visitors trace the evolution of a sport, finding connections across generations. Whether it’s a freshman looking for inspiration or an alumnus looking for their old teammates, the wall turns individual memories into a shared institutional legacy.
