When I arrived in Tucson from New York, no local client had as much buzz as Biosphere 2. In 2007, at the earliest stages of its acquisition by the University of Arizona, Biosphere 2 gave Godat Design a call. With its mission to serve as a global leader in Earth systems science research, Biosphere 2 promises active links between theory, experimentation, and measurable outcomes and continues to serve as a global leader in education and public outreach. Via branding, advertising, web presence, social media, signage, and facilities planning, Godat Design has helped fine-tune how the public experiences this modern wonder.
Thanks to the UofA Biosphere 2’s leadership including, Joaquin Ruiz, John Adams, and Rick Neter. Godat Design team principals include Dennis Fesenmyer, Jamey Aiken, Brett Turner, Danny Pagano, Katherine Monberg, Rachel Spitz, and Richard Whitmer, with creative support from Jeff Smith, Steven Meckler, and Jonathan Van Ballenberghe.
