Golisano Collection Touchscreen
Duration: 3 months
Brief: Redesign touchscreen for B. Thomas Golisano Collection
Role: Research and UX Design
Working with a team of 15 people, I worked on redesigning
the B. Thomas Golisano touchscreen.
About the Collection
The B. Thomas Golisano Collection is dedicated to serving as a
living resource for students, faculty, scholars, and business people
at RIT and the community. It is a celebration and record of Golisano’s
remarkable career and an inspiration to future generations of entrepreneurs
and advocates of health and human services.
Current Appearance
re-energize the B. Thomas Golisano collection, wanted to update the touchscreen within the public multimedia display in the atrium of the B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences (GCCIS).
Goals of the Project
- Increase user engagement
- Provide new means for interpreting physical and/or digital objects within the B. Thomas Golisano collection through interactive timelines, data/mapping visualizations, and playable media content
- Showcase collaborations and future projects completed by the RIT Archives and its community partners
- Further develop the GCCIS atrium as the flagship display for the B. Thomas Golisano collection and its current outreach initiatives
Interview/Survey Findings
We interviewed 6 people and surveyed 71 people to get their
perspective on the B. Thomas Golisano collection touchscreen.
Commonalities
- Many people didn’t know it even existed (often times has a table in front of the exhibit)
-
Some people mistook it for a map of the building
- Many people did not understand why it was important
- Not much was known about Tom Golisano
From the interviews in conjunction with the goals RIT Archives
provided, we brainstormed ways to make the monitor engaging
and highlighting the importance of Golisano and the collection.

After several iterations, this is the final structure of the touchscreen.
Wireframes/Style
Based on the interviews, we created several wireframes and styles.
Here are some of the final wireframes we created with
highlighting the ones I proposed on the left.
Final Screens
Here are final layouts and final style of the monitor
focusing on the screens I worked on.
