Providence, RI — Whitney-Veigas recently completed a design-build signage and wayfinding project for the new Tockwotton on the Waterfront in East Providence. Whitney Veigas designs, supplies, and installs interior and exterior architectural signage for academic, institutional, and corporate facilities.
When the Tockwotton Home decided to become “Tockwotton on the Waterfront” and move to a larger building, they knew that good signs would be a critical element in their new facility. The architect, DiMella Shaffer, referred them to Whitney Veigas Architectural Products, of Needham, Mass., to design, procure, and install signs for the new 156 bed facility.
For the interior signs, Whitney Veigas used a standardized sign system, Identia, for economy and for ease of future replacements. Many of the standard sign plaques were enhanced by mounting them on extended cherry wood backers that matched the wood paneling used throughout the interiors. These wood backers included laser engraving of a wetlands motif logo that gives the appearance of charred wood. The lettering on the signs was 10% larger than code required, to accommodate senior viewers.
