Case Study:
A Cohesive Brand Experience Across a Multi-Space Campus
The Client: Dayton Children’s Hospital is committed to providing world-class pediatric care in an environment designed to support healing, hope, and connection. As the hospital continues to grow, so does the need for cohesive, emotionally resonant spaces that reflect its mission throughout its expanding campus.
The Challenge
With multiple new and renovated areas across its facility, Dayton Children’s needed a unified approach to environmental branding which includes interior graphics, donor recognition, and art installations. The spaces varied in function, tone, and audience from the Behavioral Health Center to donor feature walls and waiting rooms, all requiring tailored solutions that still felt interconnected.
The challenge was to bring cohesion to a visually diverse environment while collaborating with multiple design stakeholders.
Our Role
Exhibit Concepts was selected to fabricate, manage, and install a wide range of branded elements throughout the hospital. While we were not the lead design firm, we served as a strategic partner, providing consultative support to ensure the design intent translated effectively into real-world applications.
We acted as the central project management team, streamlining communication between hospital staff, design partners, and installation crews, ensuring accuracy, timing, and execution excellence from start to finish.
Deliverables Included
- Large-format Super Graphic Murals
- CNC-cut dimensional graphic shapes
- Acrylic, Sentra, and fabric mural applications
- Prototyping, samples, and R&D to test materials and finishes
- High-quality fasteners and graphic frame systems for durability
- Accent lighting systems to enhance visual storytelling and mood
Key Installations

The Solution
Though each space called for its own palette and design elements, visual flow was maintained through material choices, finish consistency, and attention to brand tone. Exhibit Concepts worked closely with all partners to ensure that color variations complemented each other, and each installation seamlessly aligned with the broader environment.
The Result
The finished work across Dayton Children’s campus is visually diverse yet harmoniously connected—a testament to the power of partnership and thoughtful execution. Our fabrication and project management services helped bring the design vision to life, ensuring each piece contributed to a meaningful, unified experience for patients, staff, and visitors alike.
