Orthopaedic Hospital

Orthopaedic Hospital, established in 1922, is the largest privately endowed orthopaedic specialty hospital in the Western United States and continues to be a national leader in children’s orthopaedics. As part of a newly formed master plan team, Sussman/Prejza was brought in to design a comprehensive signage and wayfinding program for the new Outpatient Medical Center. Conceptually referencing intersections of a joint frozen in a moment of time, a snapshot of movement, the signs are made up of shifting layers and planes to create a relationship of exposed surfaces of illuminated light and pattern.
