Philadelphia's EGD firm, ex;it, asked me to help them design an exterior donor recognition program for the new Virtua Voorhees facility. The design of the exterior system is pulled from the capital campaign installations in the main atrium. With irregular shaped planter beds, sprinkler systems and lighting hardware, the installation had some competition to overcome for dominance in the designated areas. Breaking the installation up into 10 components gave us more flexibilty in integrating it into the landscaping. A series of 1,2 and 3 panel units were constructed around a central mounting post. Each panel was mounted to a crossbar with a swivel machanism that allowed positioning in the field whilst also serving as a nice hardware detail. The teak used was reflective of the garden furniture and the aluminum sleeves related back to the panelling on the building.
