New Meets Old as Adler Display Completes Work
on Neonatal ICU

 

BALTIMORE, Maryland, January 10, 2007 - One of the oldest creative companies in the U.S. has completed a project for some of the youngest "creations" in Maryland, delivering pride and creativity to the Anne Arundel Medical Center NICU.

Adler Display (www.adlerdisplay.com), founded in 1937 and a nationally known and award-winning leader in visual communications, took on an 18-month project creating displays for the new $4 million neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the Anne Arundel Medical Center in suburban Anne Arundel County.  The recently completed NICU has won praise through the area, including newspaper and TV coverage, and Ron Adler, the company's president and son of founder Howard Adler, is "justifiably proud of the work of our creative team on this project."

Mr. Adler said the concept for the storybook-style theme elements of his company's project were originated by C.R. Goodman Associates, a Maryland architectural firm. Adler Display designed, fabricated and installed recognition displays as well as three-dimensional ribbons and blocks supporting the overall theme. The project included two parts - donor displays recognizing the NICU's primary donor and additional donors, and architectural theme elements for the NICU itself.

For the primary donor display, which is on display inside the NICU, the Adler Display team designed and fabricated an organic-shaped, solid maple frame with a dibond graphic which continued the background texture of the artwork in the NICU.  Adler's creative efforts included decorating the frame of the display with a custom profile shape of the "bunnies on the moon" artwork.

In addition, Adler Display designed and fabricated another donor display - a Teddy's Place Display.  It features an etched glass panel with custom radius and shape, and an overlay glass with a sepia tone photograph of "Aunt Ted" with a non-glare, beveled plexi overlay.

For the theme elements of the NICU, Adler's efforts included creating and producing eight fabric dimensional ribbons, each 20-feet wide with layered cut-out painted animals in their centers; large wooden baby blocks, each some 2-feet square; dimensional border figures, each 18-inches high and covering nearly 12-feet of the wall; 5 panels of corridor artwork, and unique for each room headwall graphics for 20 rooms in the NICU, including graphics approximately 62-inches high by 52-inches wide, with seven different crops of the same image.

Jeffrey Bank, vice president of sales for Adler Display, praised his entire team, citing display designer Piotr Wolff, project manager for the recognition displays Lyndi Carvalho, and project manager for the theme elements Andy Davenport "for their creativity and dedication."  He also thanked Chuck Goodman and John Zierdt, the key contacts at C.R. Goodman, for their theme conceptualization and partnership on the project.
