Universal Metro worked closely with Creative Edge in the design, engineering, configuring, and construction of the murals, utilizing 35 colors for 6 floors in order to implement the design intent of the architect team from WBSA.<\/p>\n<p>The actual work was precision water jet and then sent in 6&#8242; x 6&#8242; puzzle size pieces inside large 7&#8242;\u00a0x 13&#8242; foot crates to preserve the vinyl from damage, edge curling, and tears which are common in many designs. With the partnership of Armstrong\u2019s and Ardex\u2019s technical teams, Universal Metro was able to seam seal every edge in order to preserve a long-term floor that will not shrink, fail, collect dirt, and most importantly, be a bright light to the families that visit CHOC each day.<\/p>\n<p>All this work was completed in an active hospital, installing over 50,000\u00a0SF\u00a0with class III Infection Control processes to insure the safety of the patients.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n        <style type='text\/css'>\n            #gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n                float: left;\n                text-align: center;\n                width: 50%;\n                margin-bottom:0;\n            }\n            #gallery-2 img {\n            }\n            #gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n                margin-left: 0;\n            }\n        <\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery  gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium-thumb gallery-lightbox'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n            <dt class='gallery-icon'>\n                <a href='http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/CHOC-Hospital-001.jpg'><img width=\"600\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/CHOC-Hospital-001-600x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium-thumb size-medium-thumb\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/CHOC-Hospital-001-600x300.jpg 600w, http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/CHOC-Hospital-001-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\n            <\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n            <dt class='gallery-icon'>\n                <a href='http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/CHOC-Hospital-002.jpg'><img width=\"600\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/CHOC-Hospital-002-600x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium-thumb size-medium-thumb\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/CHOC-Hospital-002-600x300.jpg 600w, http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/CHOC-Hospital-002-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\n            <\/dt><\/dl><div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n            <div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_type=&#8221;row_center_content&#8221; bg_position=&#8221;left top&#8221; bg_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; row_text_color=&#8221;row_text_select&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;10&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1423780660196{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;913&#8243; border_color=&#8221;grey&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; img_size=&#8221;1130&#215;289&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text] [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row_center_content&#8221; bg_position=&#8221;left &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":817,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio_category":[48,22],"portfolio_tag":[42,41,39,46,45,47,43,40,38,44],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/373"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2390,"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/373\/revisions\/2390"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=373"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/universalmetro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_tag?post=373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
