“
From a Blue Angels F/A-18E Super Hornet replica to a custom fully immersive 180° theater,
this space has a little bit of everything."
Brian Silvey, Creative Director, Dimensional Innovations
The US Naval Academy’s robust academic and athletic programs focus on preparing outstanding young men and women to serve, lead, and support their communities and country; they’re in the business of creating our future’s leaders. With a goal of taking their recruitment program to the next level, the Naval Academy Athletic Association (NAAA) partnered with Dimensional Innovations to design and develop the Ron Terwilliger '63 Center for Student-Athletes —a tech-focused, integrated space that gives their organization a competitive edge in the recruitment process while celebrating the achievements of Navy student-athletes.
Pulling students from the top of their class, both in academics and athletics, potential recruits often possess natural leadership and drive—on and off the field. These high-achieving student-athletes, in turn, actively seek institutions that will guide and enhance their educational pathway and growth, and align with their personal missions.
The Terwilliger Center for Student-Athletes clearly communicates the story of NAAA while speaking directly to the desires of the recruits, showing them they can be a part of this historic legacy of talent, service, and commitment. Using the full scope of DI’s capabilities, NAAA’s new space is a personalized, engaging, and immersive experience, making it one of the most technologically advanced collegiate recruitment centers in the nation. Each individual activation clearly articulates the brand mission, honing in on one key question: who will YOU become?
Who will you become?
This interactive experience invites the user to literally visualize themselves in a variety of professions the Navy has to offer.
