Designed by CannonDesign, the 330,000-square-foot outpatient tower at Children’s Hospital of Orange County in California caters to its young patient population with a vibrant interior.
Elevator lobbies in the nine-story facility feature high-performance glass solutions, including mirrored SatinTech glass and River Ice textured glass from Bendheim, a New York City-based specialty architectural glass manufacturer.
Textured surfaces complement and bring richness to brightly colored glass panels in the facility's elevator lobbies.

The softly etched SatinTech glass appears in a range of colors throughout the facility and is complemented by River Ice Textured Glass designs to add depth and richness. The glass panels were installed using Bendheim’s Z-Kiss cladding system, which helps to ease installation and maintenance.
Children’s Hospital of Orange County is part of Rady Children’s Health and houses more than 25 pediatric specialty clinics to help streamline patient care.
