“Experience Center”
Will Inspire Visitors with the Culture, History, and Excitement of Sports
BURBANK, Calif.–(EMWNews)–BRC Imagination Arts, one of the world’s
leading creators of brand, entertainment, and educational experiences,
today announced it is working with Sportstad Heerenveen BV to design the
new Sport Experience Heerenveen (SEH), a state-of-the-art “experience
center” in The Netherlands. BRC is developing
the overall concept design, theme, and unifying story for the SEH.
Located in the Dutch province of Friesland (northeast of Amsterdam),
Heerenveen is considered Friesland’s capital
of sport. The SEH will appeal to the athlete and sport fan in visitors
of all ages and interests. It will feature a diverse array of guest
experiences designed to engage the body, mind, and emotions in unique
ways. Visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the world of sport
through multimedia presentations and one-of-a-kind interactive
experiences that propel them into action.
“Heerenveen already has so many assets that
have given it a wonderful reputation for sports among the Dutch,”
said Bart Dohmen, Managing Director, BRC Imagination Arts, BV. “As
the emotional centerpiece and where the spirit of sport comes alive, the
SEH will play a major role in extending the city’s
status beyond The Netherlands to sporting fans around the globe.”
The SEH will approach the story of sport from a global perspective,
embracing athletes of all abilities and sporting activities of all
types. The culture of sport in Friesland will appear as a sub-story
throughout. For locals, the Frisian thread will provide a familiar entry
point into the larger world of sports. For tourists, it will add a
unique spirit—the “Frisian
sauce”—to the
overall story.
“In Friesland, sport isn’t
just a part of life—it’s
a way of life. The culture of sport runs deep here and has taken on a
unique spirit shaped by the province’s
landscape, sporting history, and social values,”
said Tjisse Wallendal, Managing Director of Sportstad Heerenveen BV. “This
spirit is the inspiration behind the SEH, which we envision, in
partnership with BRC, as the centerpiece of a larger master plan that
will transform the area adjoining Heerenveen’s
city center into a world-class sport park, creating a leading tourism
destination.”
The overall theme developed collaboratively by BRC and the SEH team is: “Be
part of the world of sport; an inspiration for a Better Life.”
The center will consist of multiple visitor experience zones with
interactive exhibits and media presentations that make guests the star
of the action, including: Inspire; Connect; Cheer; Meet; Celebrate;
Play; Train; Innovate; Heal; Refuel; and Rejuvenate & Rest.
BRC’s world-class team of designers and
producers successfully pushes the boundaries of traditional experience
design to meet the high expectations of today’s
audiences. By combining terrific storytelling and impeccable scholarship
with a variety of technologically advanced communication tools, BRC
creates remarkable 21st century experiences
that offer emotional, physical, and intellectual interactions. The
company immerses visitors into vastly diverse content including
historical figures and events, arts and sciences, cultural heritage, and
corporate culture and branding. In each of these scenarios, the company
has transformed the subject matter into experiences that amaze,
entertain, engage, and educate guests at the same time.
