he inspiration tile memorial wall extends into the building through the

entry lobby with hand blown glass tile memorial plaques. The wall is

designed to enhance the essence of the local environment and help

carry it into the facility. It also serves as a boundary between public

and private spaces and will extend out through future gardens as the

facility grows.TOther features include a children’s garden located outside of the family dining room and a number

of other gardens providing quiet, refl ective space for contemplation and relaxation. A future

outdoor chapel will be incorporated into the garden plan to enhance the outdoor experience.

The project is pursuing LEED certifi cation.

Family and visitor gathering spaces are provided in a variety of methods.

Throughout the building, starting with the front porch and working back into

the family living and dining areas, families can fi nd a space that speaks to their

needs as they care for their loved one.
