Kaiser Anaheim Hospital Grand Opening

On Friday, August 24, 2012, Kaiser Permanente invited its colleagues and distinguished guests to attend the VIP Grand Opening of the new Anaheim Medical Center and the Kraemer Medical Office Building 2. Among the attendees were members of our own team – Christine, Monica and Angie who worked so diligently on this project. During the ceremony, various speakers addressed Kaiser’s contribution to the community and healthy environment with the new medical center. After a catered sit-down lunch, everyone was given a generous gift basket filled with gardening tools and seeds as well as a tour of the new facilities. Congratulations to our team for contributing to such a successful project!

UCLA Radiation Oncology: Project Progress

PDA was charged with designing the remodel of the Radiation Oncology Department at UCLA Medical Center in Westwood, California. The redesign included Lobby improvements such as the Reception Desk, Sub-Waiting area and internal Workroom as well as reorganization of the nurse station. We chose color schemes and accent lights to brighten the existing areas and new furniture to update the space. Construction on this occupied multi-phase project is to be completed by the end of 2012.

Awning Factory Tour

On a visit to a local awning factory, some of our team members were given a personal tour by Vatche Azirian, owner of Alpha Productions. We learned about the incredible history of this family-owned company and the process in which they customize their products for each client. In fact, the firm provided its stylish retractable awnings for the recent successful completion of the UC Irvine Medical Center Exterior Dining project.
