CBL has worked with the Wilder Foundation for many years. Projects have included individual housing units, main corridors, gathering rooms and employee offices. Housing Manager Jane Bicker wanted the lobby to be an area that made a great impression on visitors but to also be multi-functional for the residents. The area is used for a number of different occasions. It’s where residents have coffee in the morning, have their weekly group gatherings, hold birthday parties and chat with visitors and friends. Wilder needed a hard surface that was durable, easy to maintain and beautiful. It was also important to find a floor that had a little texture for slip resistance for the seniors. The area around the hard surface was to be re-carpeted to create a “home living room” feel rather than a cold commercial environment.
