University of Minnesota: Northrop

Northrop is one of the University of Minnesota’s major icons and it’s central ceremonial and presentational space. As an organization, the Northrop must present an attractive, compelling face to it’s many different audiences and do so in a way that allows them to showcase beautiful imagery, lots of information and do so in a way that promotes ticket sales.

Gorton Studios worked with the staff of the Northrop to design and develop a media-rich website. The site has ample room to showcase upcoming artists, events and news, both on the homepage and throughout the site. It also ties into Facebook, Twitter and MySpace and cross-connects content within the site to facilitate lively after-show discussions of events and performances.

The new site is built with Drupal 6, which is increasingly being embraced by the University of Minnesota for a tremendous range of web needs. It also happens to be our favorite tool to make great things happen for our clients.
