Project Overview

Project Background The Tok Main Street Visitor Center is a collaboration between the Tok Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. At present, it welcomes visitors who pass through Tok along the Alaska Highway, but exhibits are aging and in need of replacing. The TMSVC partners hope to refresh the Visitor Center to better welcome visitors to the Eastern Interior of Alaska—and encourage them to stay and explore the area. In October 2022, the TMSVC team completed their Visitor Interpretive Experience Plan, which established content and a proposed layout for the new exhibits.

Split Rock Studios has been contracted for the design phases of the new exhibits. Split Rock’s design team met with representatives from the Tok Main Street Visitor Center for three days of kickoff conversations in January, 2023.

About This Submittal This is Design Development II (DDII). It is the final design submittal, incorporating previous comments and revisions. The floorplan and exhibit components are set, and materials have been selected for the exhibits. All exhibit text is written, images selected, and detailed design drawings are completed. Final graphic layouts are completed, except where Split Rock Studios and the Tok team have agreed that additional photos will be provided before production begins.

Audience The best exhibits rely on human-centered design to create immersive, relevant, and accessible experiences for visitors. To best design for these visitors, we need to first define who they are and what their needs are.

Historically, most visitors have been older couples, often recently retired. They have typically been looking forward to this trip for years, and visiting Alaska may be a highlight of retirement. In the last few years, visitor demographics have expanded to include more younger visitors, including occasional families.

Most visitors are passing through Tok on the Alaska Highway. For those headed west, Tok is the first major town they’ve reached since crossing the border. The Visitor Center is a welcome rest break, but it’s also their introduction to Alaska. Many visitors know little about the Eastern Interior, so this is an opportunity to promote the historic sites, public lands, and recreational opportunities of the region. It’s also a chance to show a more complex portrait of Alaska and Alaskans than what visitors have seen on reality television.

Visitors often expect to see lots of wildlife, so some are disappointed that Tok isn’t teeming with moose, wolves, and grizzlies. Exhibits should help set expectations and guide visitors to focus on what they can see, including geology, historical sites, and examples of the impacts of wildfire.

Project Goals These goals answer the question, “What do we hope to accomplish by creating new interpretive exhibits?”

● Highlight recreational opportunities in the Eastern Interior

● Educate visitors about the history, cultures, and environments of the Eastern Interior

● Build appreciation for the importance of public lands to Alaskan lifestyles

● Improve relationships between visitors and locals, including nearby Athabascan communities

Exhibit Outcomes These are measurable actions or changes in behavior that we’d like to see after visitors experience the new exhibits.

● Visitors will become better stewards of public lands as well as natural and cultural resources.

● Visitors will explore attractions in Alaska’s Eastern Interior, hopefully using Tok as a hub.

● Visitors will feel a new respect for the traditions, lifestyles, and beliefs of native and non-native rural Alaskans.

Design & Interpretive Approach

Exhibits Best Practices At their best, exhibits provide transformative experiences for visitors: they evoke emotions, spark curiosity, and continue to inspire long after each visit. Exhibits differ from other forms of education and communication in that they are social, physical, temporal experiences. Our goal is to inspire visitors to continue learning and engaging with the world after their visit, not to overwhelm them with too much content during their visit.

Keeping these goals in mind, SRS design is guided by the following approaches and best practices:

● Emphasize experiential and visual learning with compelling visuals and limited text

● Highlight connections to nearby places that visitors can visit (or have already visited)

● Draw inspiration from the landscapes and aesthetic of Alaska’s Eastern Interior

● Create a sense of immersion with realistic dioramas that reward visitors who look closely

Graphic Approach Although museum studies show that people do not read long text blocks, we have found that they often access and retain more information when it is presented in various formats and locations on the panel. Ideas can be included in the main text, secondary text, captions, and labels and can be illustrated with drawings, photos, and diagrams.

Additionally, exhibit content can be layered so that a visitor reading only panel headlines will get a rough idea of the main interpretive message. A person choosing to read the headlines and main text blocks will go home with a more complete idea of the message, and a person reading all of the text will have a good understanding. This is sometimes called the 3-30-3 approach based on the length of time the visitor spends reading: 3 seconds, 30 seconds, or 3 minutes.

Graphic Hierarchy In order to create a visual hierarchy and make it easy for visitors to navigate through the exhibit space, we propose using a standardized series of graphic panels as follows. We also recommend using specific colors for individual exhibit areas, helping visitors distinguish between different storylines and historic eras as they move throughout the gallery.

● Intro Panel: This panel type addresses a broad theme—often one that is explored in greater detail further into an exhibit. This panel type aims for 75-100 words of main text, with supporting images and secondary text.

● Topic Panel: This panel type addresses a single topic rather than a larger theme. These panels dive into interpreting a single story. This panel type aims for 75-100 words of main text, with supporting images and secondary text.

● Reading Rail: This graphic type interprets what visitors are seeing in the exhibits. The content mirrors the focused information found on Topic Panels. Depending on graphic size, this panel type aims for 75-100 words of main text, with supporting images and secondary text.

Grade Level and Tone Given the wide age range of the intended audience, SRS recommends writing text at a ~6th grade reading level, with an informal and descriptive tone. Most visitors will be older than this. But this reading level range will make exhibit text accessible to the majority of visitors, keeping in mind that complex ideas can be conveyed with simple, easy-to-understand language.

How to Read the Content Manual

The Content Manual is the exhibit script; the permanent record of text and sources. It lists the text, images, and artifacts that comprise the new interpretive exhibits.

Content Manual Format In general, all left-justified lines in the Content Manual have to do with the organization or descriptions of exhibit components. This includes codes, sources, and other notes. Lines that are indented show the text that will appear on the panels.

Exhibit codes are shown in bold type and correspond to the floor plan and elevations. The exhibit codes follow each element through the production process of estimating, graphic design, CAD drawings, production, and installation. Codes are established in the concept phase and are not changed, except to correct obvious mistakes. When elements are removed in the development process, the code numbers are retained to avoid confusion and are labeled “deleted.”

Each of the exhibits is coded using an alphanumeric system: first by exhibit area, then by individual exhibit. Basic exhibit coding follows this pattern:

Area A Use capital letter for large exhibit areas A.1.a.1 Alternate numbers and letters and use periods to separate characters.

A.2 Major components are coded first. This keeps their codes short. “A.2” could represent a graphic panel, an interactive, or a mural in Area A.

A.2.a Parts of the major components are given more specific codes. This code could represent the main text and header on a graphic panel, or a segment of a diorama, etc.

A.2.b In the case of images, list the image first. Include the source and credit line.

Exhibit elements are named in italics under the codes. Paying attention to whether the element is main text, secondary text, or a caption etc. will help you recognize the varying levels of interpretation and their relative emphasis.

Headers and text, secondary text, captions, etc. These titles identify the text that will actually appear on the panels. The text itself is indented for easy reading. Titles are printed in bold and the text in normal type.

Sources of information are also written in italics. In the final submittal, we will include a complete bibliography.

Word count is included for all text blocks of 20 words or more. Field research has established that text segments should not exceed 50 words and that text should be kept to a minimum. At SRS, we follow the axiom: it is better to tell a little and have some visitors actually read it, than tell a lot and have no one read it.

Style Sheet

In order to maintain accuracy and consistency in the punctuation and grammar, we generally follow the rules as established by these reference books:

Associated Press Stylebook The New York Public Library Writer’s Guide to Style and Usage The Chicago Manual of Style The American Heritage Dictionary

In addition, for this project we have established these specific standards:

1. Use active, conversational, and engaging language where possible, rather than passive or flat descriptions. This includes using contractions, occasionally starting sentences with “and,” and avoiding jargon.

2. Numbers are written as numerals except when they are at the start of a sentence.

3. A comma is used before “and” in a series. “Otters eat fish, clams, and mussels.”

4. Only one space is used between sentences.

5. All words in headlines will be capitalized. Prepositions four letters or less are not capitalized.

6. Photo and art credits do not include the words “Courtesy of” or “Photo courtesy of…” The order we generally follow is: Name of artist/photographer, name of piece, name of lending institution. If the institution requests a different credit, we comply. Unless otherwise specified by the lender, artist name and institution are separated by / rather than a comma.

7. If items in a credit line are not put on separate lines, they are separated by commas. No punctuation is used at the end of the lines.

8. In general, when using a long quote with several ellipsis points (…), we will try to obtain permission to excerpt the quote without using the ellipses in order to simplify the text for the casual reader.

9. When using the common name of species, it is not capitalized unless the name is also a proper noun, in which case both will be capitalized (e.g “Harris’s Hawk.”) Species names in headlines follow headline capitalization rules: white-tailed deer in text, but White-Tailed Deer in headlines.

10. Non-Indigenous Alaskans will be referred to as “European Americans.”

11. When the name of an Alaskan town appears in text for the first time, text will explain that it is in Alaska, e.g. “Eagle, AK.”

12. When providing image credits for photos/art from federal agencies, credit lines will read as follows: “USFWS” “NPS” “BLM” “USGS”. If an individual photographer is to be credited, their name would come after the agency acronym (e.g. USFWS/Tim Lorenzini).

Area A: Outdoor Signage

Even before they step inside, new arrivals in town get a warm welcome from the outdoor signage.

The larger signs identify the visitor center, while two kiosks offer useful information to tourists who arrive after hours.

The large, log-framed welcome signs are designed to catch the eye of approaching motorists. With one at each end of the Visitor Center lot, they are easily seen by both eastbound and westbound travelers.

Two information kiosks are stationed outside the doors to the visitor center. They help with wayfinding and offer a preview of what’s inside for visitors who are deciding whether to go in.

They also offer important information about safety and recreational opportunities for visitors who arrive outside of the Visitor Center’s hours. Each kiosk includes two large graphics, providing plenty of space for maps, information about logistics, and highlights of the surrounding areas.

A.1 Welcome Signs Two large welcome signs greet drivers as they approach the visitor center. The signs face in opposite directions, ensuring that drivers recognize the landmark in time to turn into the parking lots regardless of which direction they’re driving. Signs are framed by log posts and include a removable rocker board underneath that shares the visitor center’s hours. This rocker board can be easily replaced if Visitor Center hours change.

(Note: current pricing is for one sign only, with the second sign as an Add/Alt option. Pricing assumes that the single sign would be double-sided, so that it can be positioned perpendicular to the road and still be read by drivers in both directions.)

A.1.a Large Welcome Sign A large sign is mounted in a log frame. The sign depicts the silhouettes of a forest with mountains rising behind it and northern lights in the background. Text identifies the center, while logos of the government agencies and the Tok Chamber of Commerce represent the organizations that collaborate to make this center possible.

A.2 Kiosks (2) Two identical orientation kiosks are positioned outside the visitor center, with one facing each parking lot. Each kiosk features two panels that orient visitors who arrive when the Visitor Center is closed. One panel focuses on orientation for visitors, offering suggestions of things to do in the area. Weather-proof brochure cases give visitors access to additional opportunities. The other panel helps them understand how to recreate safely—both for them and for the Alaskan environment. A lockable acrylic case offers a place for visitor center staff to post updates about weather, wildfires, and local events. At the base of the Recreating Safely panel, visitors can take action against invasive species by cleaning their footwear with a boot brush.

A.2.a Orientation Graphic One of the two graphics in the kiosks orients visitors with a map. A brief introduction welcomes visitors and highlights Tok’s role as a hub for further exploration, while accompanying images with brief captions highlight the many recreational opportunities in the area. The map featured here shows a somewhat larger area than the map shown on the map table inside. This helps visitors recognize familiar landmarks that are further away, such as Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Whitehorse (indicated by an arrow pointing off-map).

A.2.b Recreating Safely Graphic On the second panel of the kiosks, a graphic helps visitors understand how to prioritize safety during their travels in Alaska. Most of the focus is on keeping visitors safe, but this is also an opportunity to address how their choices affect the safety of others—including Alaskan ecosystems. A large portion of this graphic is taken up by A.2.c Lockable Acrylic Case, where Visitor Center staff can add printed updates with the latest safety information.

Keep Your Distance

Talk, sing, and make plenty of noise as you explore so animals know you're coming—that way you won't startle them. If you’re lucky enough to see large animals like moose or bears, give them plenty of space. They might feel threatened if you try to approach.

Responsible recreation means keeping Alaska safe too. Invasive species like zebra mussels white sweetclover, Elodea, and bird vetch wreak havoc on our local ecosystems. These species and other invaders can hitch rides on visitors’ boats, vehicles, footwear, and even pets!

Area B: Lobby

As visitors enter the building, they’re relieved to find a comfortable, welcoming space that reminds them they’ve finally arrived in Alaska. Comfortable chairs surrounding a woodstove give tired travelers a relaxing place to recover from their journey and plan their next steps. If visitors have any questions, they can speak with one of the helpful staff at the front desk. From the log walls to the antler chandelier overhead, the lobby is both beautiful and evocative of the northern landscape.

But Tok is more than just a tourist destination, so the people of the nearby communities are spotlighted in this area too. A large photomural wraps a wall behind the welcome desk. Text welcomes visitors in English and three local Athabascan dialects. A large graphic on the wall of the lobby introduces visitors to the town of Tok. These are reminders that while most visitors are just passing through, this place is home for those who live here.

The lobby also includes a monitor for up-to-date information about weather, road conditions, wildfire risks, and local events. This monitor is mounted on the wall in the northeast corner of the lobby.

B.1 Welcome Wall A large wall extends behind the welcome desk. It serves multiple purposes: first it offers a beautiful backdrop for the desk, helping to establish the sense of the unique Alaskan atmosphere as visitors enter the space. On the other side, it provides exhibit space for Area G: We Thrive Here. In addition, the structure of the wall includes a storage closet for Visitor Center staff to keep brochures, equipment, and supplies.

B.1.a Welcome Photomural A photomural runs across the length of the Welcome Wall. A panorama provides a scenic backdrop, while text welcomes visitors in English and three Athabascan languages.

A Tok Icon

Tok has welcomed visitors to Alaska for as long as there has been the Alaska Highway. Until 1971, this was the site of the Customs & Immigration station for the Alaska Highway.

The Tok Visitor Center was built in 1992. At nearly 7,000 square feet, it's one of the largest single-story log structures in Alaska. The logs are white spruce and were harvested about 50 miles (80 km) south of here. One of the logs was aged at 210 years old!

We are proud to welcome you here today!

Living in Alaska

This can be a challenging place to live. Winters are long and dark, with some of the coldest temperatures in North America! But life here isn't like what you see on reality TV. We're not "hanging on by a thread." We choose this life, and we navigate its challenges with skill, ingenuity, and self-reliance.

For those who call this home, it's a place of breathtaking beauty and vibrant communities. Spend some time experiencing Tok and the region!

Area C: You Are Here

As visitors move past the welcome desk and into the exhibit areas, the first thing they encounter is an impressive map table. They’re delighted to find that it helps orient them in both the broader landscape and in the exhibits of the Visitor Center.

At the center of the table is the map itself. Positioned so that map north matches true north, it covers a hexagonal area with Tok itself in the center. To the north, the map extends up to where the Yukon River flows through Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. To the south, it reaches down to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve. The western edges of the map capture Delta Junction, while the eastern edge extends into Canada to include Dawson City.

These boundaries achieve two objectives. First, they show many attractions of Alaska’s Eastern Interior that visitors may want to see. Most of the map is reachable from Tok in a day trip, so visitors might adjust their plans to include these highlights. Second, they highlight Tok as a central hub of this region, increasing the likelihood that visitors will decide to stay longer in Tok and use it as a “base camp” from which they can explore nearby attractions.

Around the map itself are six reading rails that interpret several of the places found on the map.

They roughly correspond to both locations on the map and locations in the exhibit space. At the southern end of the table, an intro reading rail titled “You Are Here” introduces visitors to Tok and offers an overview of the eastern interior. Proceeding clockwise around the map, the next reading rails are devoted to indigenous Alaskans and the Fortymile Country. The northern end focuses on public lands, while the eastern reading rails are about Eagle/Fort Egbert and the Tetlin Passage.

Each reading rail uses color and other graphic elements to visually connect it with the corresponding exhibit areas.

Two of the reading rails feature push buttons that illuminate LEDs built into the map. One is on the “Fortymile Country” reading rail. This illuminates a string of LEDs surrounding that region. The other button is on the “Tetlin Passage” reading rail. It illuminates LEDs running through the Tanana River Valley.

C.1 Map Table The base of this table is built with log construction to match the aesthetic of the building. The map table is mounted on gliders to ensure that it can be easily moved when necessary. The tabletop includes six reading rails and a three-dimensional map.

C.1.a You Are Here Reading Rail The south-facing reading rail welcomes visitors to the map table and helps them orient themselves.

What to Look For

This region is drier and colder than many other parts of Alaska. That means that you may not spot as many bears and moose as elsewhere. But there’s still lots to see if you know how to look.

As you explore, read the landscape—how does the shape of the land change from one valley to the next? Can you find the boundaries between watersheds? How do you think what happens in mountains affects the landscapes below?

Alaska Native Traditional Homelands

The Upper Tanana, Tanacross, Ahtna, and Han peoples are part of the Athabascan culture and have called these lands home for countless generations. Skilled hunters, fishers, trappers, and craftspeople, they thrive in this challenging landscape.

The arrival of European American settlers introduced new hardships and forced assimilation—and impacted Indigenous lifestyles. But Athabascans adapted. Despite changes, they maintain a deep connection with this landscape. Today, they weave traditional ways with modern methods.

North of Tok, between the Tanana and Yukon Rivers, lies the watershed of the Fortymile River. Visitors are drawn to the Fortymile Country for its countless recreational opportunities. Hiking, fishing, rafting, and camping abound in this beautiful landscape.

For many rural Alaskans, the Fortymile Country has a practical side, too. They use it for hunting, fishing, and foraging. This landscape has sustained Alaska Natives people for thousands of years—and it still does today.

Old and Gold

Look closely at the Fortymile Country on the map in front of you.

See all those rugged valleys? They were sculpted by creeks and rivers cutting through ancient bedrock. Some of that rock is 600 million years old—among the oldest in Alaska!

The rock also holds gold deposits. Over time, water washed some of that gold into the creeks. In the late 1800s, miners flocked to the Fortymile, hoping to strike it rich by searching for gold in the gravel.

Today, mining is still a foundation of the local economy.
