Donor recognition wall reaching up 14 feet is built of interlocking blackened steel panels, a large art glass column, and a digital display.

Inside the Lodge, PDG’s donor recognition display mirrors other building materials in an elegant display that reaches up a 14-foot wall built out of blackened steel panels with donor names fashioned out of dimensional bronze lettering. The paneling on both featured installations can be moved and updated over time. At the far left of the display, a large art glass column frames a digital monitor that displays donor stories and historical information about the development of the project. Content on the digital display is client-managed using PDG’s CMS Appellō.
