“Moving all of Braille Institute’s Anaheim
facilities together into one large building instead of several smaller ones has
made it much easier for their patrons to navigate, and creates operational
efficiencies,” said Tom Myers, Regional Vice President of Ware
Malcomb.
“The Braille Institute has been providing
vital services for the visually impaired community in Southern California for
100 years, and this new space will allow them to do even more in the decades ahead,”
said Mary Cheval, Director, Interior Architecture & Design of Ware
Malcomb.
Ware Malcomb has worked with the Braille
Institute on several projects over the past 25 years.
The Braille Institute is a non-profit
organization offering a broad range of free
programs, classes and services for
thousands of students of all ages to empower themselves to live more enriching
lives with blindness and vision loss.
Founded in 1919 in Los Angeles, the Braille
Institute first opened its Anaheim facility in
1971, with Ware Malcomb completing various projects on their campus since that
time.
Having
served the community for four decades, the existing buildings were demolished
to make way for a new state-of-the-art facility.

The new, 14,735 square foot single-story
facility includes a variety of unique spaces, such as an instructional kitchen,
to teach the visually impaired life skills and how to navigate through the
world.
The new building also features a central
courtyard that contains multiple auditory and tactile guides including a
bubbling fountain and contrasting surfaces.
Ware Malcomb developed exterior and interior
signage to enhance and highlight the facility’s new contemporary architecture,
while integrating the new logo and brand standards created by the Braille
Institute’s branding agency.
