Inspiration for the updateable donor recognition displays comes from quilt patterned tiles located on the building’s exterior. With the donor recognition displays, they give reference to the local farm culture and the state of the art animal show arena in which the donations were given. The quilt display allows for various levels of recognition. The “Block by Block” donor display and it’s partner display “Champion’s Circle”, creates added interest in the campaign. Each wall underscores the importance of community giving. Currently the donor display is located inside the expansive hallway adjacent to the arena. Bright primary colors stand out against the grey and brown minimal space. Individual tiles are added every year as more donations come in. Due to the success of the ongoing campaign, a second donor quilt wall was created to accommodate the additional donors.
The different tile colors and size pieces on the quilt donor recognition display represent the different giving levels. For details about the campaign, a companion key accompanies each donor display. It tells the story of the campaign, shows the different giving levels and brochures are available for potential donors to take. Continually promoting and celebration the ongoing campaign for current and future donors.
Leaf Donor Wall Custom Designed for the Space
The hospital leaf donor wall celebrates the many donors that make the new health facility possible. Working together, Our team of designers and engineers envisioned the new lobby space and guarantee a location for the donor display prior to the building completion. The conceptual phase of the donor wall project involves understanding the Center, their mission, their goals, and all aspects to include within the leaf donor wall. After a walk through of the center it was decided the best place for impact and viewing would be on the large 20 foot lobby wall. The design challenges to include 610 donor names within 6 giving levels, fit the space and create an art piece that relates to the Center.
The final design is a simplified, airy tree with blowing leaves dancing in the spirit of the project. The addition of the quote, “Patients First . . . Building a Legacy of Care.” clearly explains the mission. The leaf donor wall is mounted to a printed background to represent the rolling hillside landscape of the area and completely covers the dark green wall. The abstract curved shape to the panels helps soften the clinical feel to the waiting room. The main fall orange tree color compliments the green interior, walls and furniture to evoke emotion. Individually produced acrylic leafs make up the many donors and is color coordinated to its giving level To complete the display, a printed legend explains the giving levels.
