Press Release:

Gerry Veley has been commissioned to design, fabricate and install the stained glass for the new Providence Newberg Medical Center Reflection Room.  The window measures approximately nine feet high and ten feet wide.  The abstract design will be both quiescent and introspective in its expression. The design and the choice of glass will offer the occupants of the Reflection Room privacy while at the same time allowing the outside environment to interact with the interior of the Reflection Room.

Mahlum Architects are the designers for the medical center and its interiors.  Michael Smith is the principal-in-charge and Victoria Nichols is the project manager.  Mahlum Architects, founded in 1938, is a firm of 90 people in Portland and Seattle.  The firm is committed to creating enduring and poetic architecture to enrich the human experience.

Over the past 20 years Gerry Veley has designed and fabricated numerous windows for the Sister of Providence including, Providence Medical Center on 47th and N.E. Glisan Street, Milwaukie Providence Hospital,  St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California, Mother Joseph Care Center in Olympia, Washington and Providence Office Park in N.E. Portland.
