The goal was multifaceted: to capture OhioHealth’s Mission, honor retiring CEO David Blum’s visionary leadership and create a gathering focal point for the campus’ “Back Yard”. Beacon is set on an east west axis, playing with the sun, catching the early morning light and providing a dynamic visually changing display of colors that move across the hardscape through the day. The flame’s multi-hued dichroic glass forms symbolize the diversity of talents and individuals in the OhioHealth family. Recognizing OhioHealth’s diverse family and the communities it serves workforce are five figures of varying age and gender. Then sculpture rises from the planting structure with its informal seating surround.
