To find what I’d like to see in our NMD site, I didn’t quite have to go far. The UMaine virtual tour page actually looks pretty similar to what I want for the front page of our NMD site.

I like the idea of being able to enter the IMRC virtually and see what is going on in each classroom. The top bar would have links to pages like curriculum, current students, faculty. The first page would have the majority of the about section, and as you cycle through the different rooms, student projects would show up.
