Custom Healthcare Signs: Gulfcoast Cancer Center
Custom Healthcare Signs
The Gulfcoast Cancer Center — Largo, which opened in January, offers diagnostic imaging, labs, radiation and chemotherapy, all in one spot. The 24,000-square-foot center, developed and co-owned by Optimal Outcomes LLC of St. Petersburg, broke ground in 2008 and cost $9.3 million to build. The main tenants are Gulfcoast Oncology Associates, which provides medical oncology consultation, chemotherapy treatments and laboratory tests, and Gulfcoast Cancer Institute, which provides radiation oncology services and advanced imaging. The facility sees about 120 to 150 patients a day.
A new cancer center strives to make fighting cancer a bit less stressful. While the facility offers serious medical treatments, elements of the center create a spa-like feel. High windows let in natural light. Walls are painted with soft, neutral colors and adorned with European cityscapes and tropical scenes.
The developer referred Creative Sign Designs directly to Gulfcoast Oncology to work together on the interior ADA compliant signs and Wayfinding signage as well as the exterior signs for the building. We recommended using a unique sign system called DanSign, a partner company in Denmark, to accentuate the clean atmosphere and earth tone colors in the building. We created an exclusive design to enhance the décor of the facility for the custom ADA signs required. For the exterior, we created unique signs to complement the architecture of the building, using stainless steel dimensional letters on the face of the building and elsewhere. Using the building colors and clean lines of the building as a guide, we were able to create distinctive exterior signs to enhance the property as visitors arrive at the facility.
