At the heart of the new Hunt Library at North Carolina State University is the Emerging Issues Commons, a dynamic interactive installation focused on public policy where visitors come to learn, collaborate, and take action.

Interactive kiosks where visitors can sign up to get involved with solutions to the issues facing North Carolina are strategically placed throughout the Commons.

The Connections Area brings data to life. A 16-foot interactive wall displays general information about the state while nearby interactive tables provide a chance to get more detailed with the data.

A nine-minute, multi-screen Overture film introduces visitors to the landscapes of North Carolina, both cultural and environmental, while communicating the vision of the Commons.

Statistical data is ultimately about real people. To capture the lives and voices behind the big data, Second Story hit the road to film on location throughout the state.
