The proposed new signage for Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital to enhance visibility.
On January 13, 2025, the Farmington Hills City Council voted unanimously to improve the signage for Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital. The new taller and wider signs aim to enhance visibility for vehicular traffic, ensuring patients and visitors can easily navigate to the facility, especially during emergencies. The change reflects the hospital’s new branding and a commitment to community engagement while complying with local regulations.
In a lively meeting on January 13, 2025, the Farmington Hills City Council unanimously decided to spruce up the signage at what is now Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital. This decision is all about making sure folks can find their way more easily and giving the hospital that extra touch of community spirit.
Previously known as Beaumont Hospital, Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital is ready to step into the spotlight with a fresh look. The hospital is situated at 28050 Grand River Ave, and the council is all aboard the signage improvement train!
During the council discussions, the central idea was clear: enhance vehicular traffic visibility. When entering the hospital campus, drivers need a clear view to navigate swiftly, especially during emergency visits. It’s all about keeping the roads safe while also ensuring families can find their way when they need it the most.
Claire McCready, who represents Signworks, brought a proposal to the table, suggesting a new sign that’s a bit taller and wider than the current one. The existing signage stands at an impressive 10 feet 8 inches high by 7 feet wide, but the new beacon will rise to 12 feet high and stretch 6 feet wide. The change not only aims to catch the attention of passing vehicles, but it also tackles a pesky line of sight issue that currently makes the existing sign hard to spot.
One key consideration in this plan is height. The new sign, although taller, will actually comply with the planned unit development regulations that typically restrict sign heights in the area. It’s a smart move to ensure that local guidelines are respected while still allowing the hospital to shine bright.
Illustrating the council’s focus on community, the modification to the wall sign will shift from Beaumont Hospital to Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital. This update not only enhances identification for patients and visitors but also solidifies the hospital’s new branding in the community.
Council member Randy Bruce expressed the group’s understanding of the pivotal role signage plays in hospital visibility, particularly for those making urgent trips to see loved ones or receive emergency care. This sentiment was echoed by Council member Jon Aldred, who noted that both signs would elevate the overall look and function of the hospital area.
The beauty of these proposed changes goes beyond mere aesthetics. They’ll promote greater road safety while ensuring that everyone can find their way to the hospital without any fuss or confusion. As the vote sailed through with unanimous support, it’s clear that the Farmington Hills City Council has its sights set on a brighter future for the local healthcare facility.
These signage changes are a promising step towards improving the experience of all who visit Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital. With enhanced visibility and a clearer identity, it’s exciting to see how the hospital will soon stand out even more on Grand River Avenue!
