Sterling Commerce engaged the services of Design Collective Inc (Columbus, OH) to handle the interior decoration of a building in campus that will become its international headquarters and training building. Sterling Commerce's objective was to reinforce its image as the leading electronic data interchange in the world. The most notable of the changes that Design Collective made was the use of European-style brush aluminum perforated panels to replace the traditional ceiling. Other changes include the use of distinct shapes, forms and finishes that reflected world-class excellence.

Article Abstract:
Rainbow Babies' and Children's Hospital's new building in Cleveland, OH, was designed according to the wishes of children and families in the neighborhood. NBBJ project designer Greg Wieland conducted surveys which revealed requests for electronic games, videos, big windows, nurturing spaces, quiet and comfort. Thus, NBBJ designed steel and glass windows, cut out ceilings, big rooms to accommodate patients and their families, kitchenettes, playrooms and laundry with the surveys in mind. The finished project was complimented by many children and their families.

Article Abstract:
Design firm NBBJ created a comfortable atmosphere for patients when it undertook the expansion of the Harrison Memorial Hospital in Bremerton, WA. The expansion unifies the hospitals wings and houses a foyer, gift shop, recovery rooms, examination rooms and administrative offices. A highlight of the design is the enclosed garden with a view of the Pacific coast. The glass walls separate the lounging area from an arrangement of stone blocks and topiary.
