CWS - A Hill-Rom Company - NaviCare Nurse Call
NaviCare® Nurse Call features a graphical touch screen patient station, enabling caregivers to communicate with patients faster, reduce steps in their routine and perform a greater number of patient care activities at the bedside.
DOGIPOT - DOGIPARK Bone Table (7511)
If it were left up to most dogs, they would run and play non-stop until they couldn't anymore. But even the most active dogs need rest, which is why owners will greatly appreciate the DOGIPARK® Rectangle BoneTable. This raised park table, with perforated design, is coated with our *RUFFCOAT™, making it especially slip resistant for added safety.

Project Highlights
Burke Playgrounds - A Place for Imagination - Marine Park

With a location overlooking Drayton Harbor in Blaine, WA, the Marine Park playground is a fun, unique, creative and educational themed play environment that helps tell the history of a city. The water has long been an important part of Blaine, so a ship and lighthouse combination was a natural choice for the theme of the playspace. It not only offers excellent play value, but also pays tribute to a long relationship between the town and the body of water it relies on for industry, tourism and recreation.
Children love the imaginative play pieces such as numerous decks and panels that make it feel like a “real” ship where they can ward of pirates, sail for far-off destinations and explore anywhere their minds can take them. A large climbing rock, slides and plenty of room to run help kids stay active and have fun in this beautiful destination play environment.

Even in the most extreme conditions, Dryvit EIFS offer unique design and performance advantages over other cladding systems. If Dryvit EIFS has emerged as the cladding of choice in a climate as challenging as Anchorage, Alaska, it should be the obvious choice in the more temperate and less challenging climates in the “lower 48”.

Kornegay Design LLC - Tending the Garden Wall

On the overall direction of the design, Kornegay says, “I made the wall expressive, but at the same time very natural feeling”. The shape of the wall uses forced perspective. Starting at 7 ½ feet tall, the wall slopes down to about 6 ½ feet tall. It forces one’s perspective down to the lower part of the wall, featuring a copper plaque describing the Tending the Garden campaign. In order to make it feel like it belongs there, Kornegay gave the wall texture. “We sand-blasted the wood that framed the walls to fill with a natural colored concrete. On the backside of the wall, we repeated the garden’s mission.” In order to maintain the natural subtitles of the wall, the Desert Botanical Garden logo and mission are embedded in the concrete. Set within the east facing wall are ¾” thick square glass plaques, that are embedded with a photo of a cactus flower and the donor’s name is etched into the front of the glass. This creates a sense of depth, almost as if the name is hovering above the flower. On why he went with this idea, Kornegay says, “I chose flowers that grow in the garden and surrounding desert.” A key explains the range of levels of donation represented by the different flowers. This type of display allowed the glass plaques to be randomly distributed throughout the wall. It also recognizes that every donor of every giving level is important to the success of the garden.
