On the Boards: Punching Providence Regional Medical Center Everett

Karen spent the first part of this week in Everett WA with a team who reviewed, analyzed, approved (or corrected for approval) every installed piece of signage in the new hospital tower at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett (PRMCE). From the roof (above, with a view to Puget Sound) to the basement, a team of five walked every corridor of the hospital and looked at every single sign. When something didn't pass inspection, it was corrected on the spot.
Jenae Goldfinch , Mortensen Construction,Vicki Scott , PRMCE Facilities and Scott Hoffman Trade-Marx Signs & Display (left, above) each take notes while walking. Along the route, Scott (right photo) pulls out his tools and installs a sign in a location that was previously inaccessible.
The best part of all - Jenae typed in every location and created a "real time" punch list - saving what is often a couple of days effort back in the office following a walk-through.
Exterior signs had just been installed - plantings to come!
