Shriners Hospitals for Children

Shriners Hospitals for Children | Lexington, Kentucky

Shriners Hospitals for Children commissioned architect SRG Partnership to assist in the development of the new Shriners Hospitals for Children Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky. Designtex and Polyvision worked alongside SRG to create a safe, fun and colorful environment for the children and teens at the new 60,000 square foot facility. Combining the performance attributes of CeramicSteel, state of the art digital printing technology and graphic design expertise, Polyvision and Designtex provided decorative wall cladding throughout three stories of the modern facility. A total of 85 digitally printed panels were combined to create 12 unique murals situated in corridors, waiting rooms, entry vestibules and elevator cabs. By combining elements of the Kentucky landscape, along with original illustrations by artist Christopher David Ryan, the art-walls add an element of nature, transforming a health care system into a giant visual playground.
