Timeline and recognition wall for UT Medical Center

Take 462 butcher blocks, 125 feet of wire, 1,900 bolts and screws and our team at High Resolutions. Mix those ingredients up, and you get this amazing wall of Maple, ink and acrylic. How did we do it?

The project started like most projects: with an idea. UT Medical Center came to us with their vision of creating a large display wall that would be a visual masterpiece with a special function. This wall would serve as a historical timeline of the hospital and include the recognition of individuals who had faithfully served the hospital for many years, contributing to its success. The core of our design required custom maple butcher blocks to be fabricated from raw lumber. Each block needed to be finished to the exact same dimensions.

Don’t let the simplistic design, fool you. This wall had to be engineered to support all of the 120+ pound panels that would be installed. To beat all, since the nature of the wall (purpose) is modular and constantly changing by adding new names and timeline events, we had to design a way to remove individual blocks and panels to change the layout over time. This required extensive pre-planning and design engineering until everyone was satisfied with the final solution.

Given the great lengths we went to in order to ensure a successful execution, the production and installation stages went smoothly. After a few days in a secured room to keep the project hidden from the public, the install team emerged with two days to spare before the official unveiling and dedication. With news cameras and hospital staff in attendance, the curtain was pulled back to reveal one of our most ambitious projects to date.

One of our customers came to us for ideas to promote a healthy eating campaign called “Fuel” to their employees. They liked the idea of using a vintage fuel pump tower as a ballot box where employees could drop their “fuel bucks” in and be entered into a drawing. We took the challenge on and had a concept and design finalized within two weeks. Within three weeks, we were in production.More

First Century Bank is a local bank with a long history. Started in 1894, the bank has flourished in East Tennessee. One of the newest branches is in a newly remodeled building in Maryville. The site on West Broadway was the location for one of our recent projects. Working alongside the bank’s architect, we developed and designed signage for the doors and interior walls using the bank’s colors. Incorporating historic and local photos, we emphasized not only the bank’s long local history, but we also visually placed it in its home just outside of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.More

Knoxville’s PYA Analytics does work for the healthcare industry and has to comply with HIPAA standards. Part of their strategy for this involved obscuring the all-glass windows and doors found throughout their office space. We were tasked with creating graphics that were functional and beautiful. One of our designers, created a geometric pattern of multi-colored squares, hinting at graphs, charts and data. The art was printed on frosted vinyl and applied on all the glass surfaces that line the halls, continuing upstairs to their loft space.
