A Translucent Entrance Canopy Shelters the New Drop-Off Area at the East Building.

The Craig Hospital Addition and Renovation project aims to set the tone to unite the Craig ‘buildings’ into one ‘campus’.  A welcoming pedestrian plaza will connect the East and West buildings with an entrance canopy over each of the front doors.

This interesting “V” Design over the east entry allows water to drain into a central gutter and provides rain water to the greenery on each side. The translucent canopy itself is designed to bring more daylight into and through the front entry doors. With only two support poles, the walkway is unobstructed.

What We Did:

• We supplied and installed a custom translucent entrance canopy manufactured by CPI Daylighting.
• The entrance canopy was installed over the new pedestrian plaza at the front door of the East building.
