Revival

Front view of a modern brick hospital building with a large arched window and glass doors, surrounded by a parking lot and landscaped yard with small trees and bushes.

Narrow maple boards line the renewed corridors of the former JCPenney, a retail shell recast as a place of care. The slender planks bring warmth to walls and ceilings, meeting Class A finish requirements while softening the scale of the old mall anchor. Maple, long associated with resilience, clarity, and steady renewal, becomes a fitting emblem for healing.

NATURAL, DURABLE, AND CODE-ALIGNED, THE MAPLE BECOMES THE GENTLE SPINE OF A MEDICAL FACILITY REBORN, AN UNDERSTATED GESTURE OF REUSE, CLARITY, AND CALM.
