During Mary Clark and Mary
Forester's research on outdoor lighting for the garden club, an electrician
recommended that they make a night visit to see what type of lighting the
Ackerman oncology facility had installed. It is located next to Walmart
on San Jose Blvd.
While there, they noticed the landscaping of the building
which serves cancer patients. The simplified and minimal landscaping
created a peaceful and calming effect on our members. They felt this was
intentional for the patients attending the office during a trying time in their
lives. Hopefully the use of the rocks, the colors of the building, and
the plantings set a tone of restfulness in a world of unknowns with the
patients and staff utilizing this facility.
We wanted to honor not only the beautification of this
Mandarin building but also their respect for the patients by creating a world
of beauty for them. If that much attention to detail is evident on the outside
of a medical building, the attention to detail on the inside for their patients
must be outstanding.
