As part of SLAM’s design for the Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Pavilion at Danbury Hospital, an integrated system of environmental graphics and donor recognition was developed throughout the 12‑story tower. Custom artwork tied to floor‑specific themes and coordinated recognition elements were created through close collaboration between interior and graphic designers, contributing warmth, clarity, and identity across public, patient, and staff‑focused spaces.
