Upon this agreement, Stanford dedicated a space in their library to showcase the amazing map collection, and Mission Bell created the custom millwork to optimize and appreciate the display. The center contains rare maps and atlases in addition to interactive, high-resolution screens for viewing digital cartography.
On this project, Mission Bell provided all the custom casework, wood column wraps, lockers, and handrails. Built from solid oak, the casework includes lighting, wire mesh cabinet doors, globe display cases, and more to showcase this incredible bequest.
