ICON proudly partnered with SickKids Foundation to celebrate the hospitals 150th anniversary, a milestone honoring 150 years of groundbreaking treatment, research and precision healthcare dedicated to healing today’s children and building a healthier future for all.
This commemorative project aimed to visually celebrate SickKids's legacy by transforming key areas within the hospital. The installation was carefully scheduled to be completed ahead of the anniversary celebrations, with all work carried out after hours to ensure no disruption to patient's families, or staff. By morning, the hospital was transformed, welcoming everyone with a joyful and celebratory atmosphere.
At the heart of the installation were three elevators wrapped in vibrant blue and white adhesive vinyl, featuring whimsical balloon imagery. As the elevators moved, the balloons appeared to rise creating a magical, uplifting visual of balloons being released into the sky. Complementing this were large banners with images of SickKids patients, the official 150th anniversary tagline, and matching balloon graphics, reinforcing the celebratory theme throughout the space.
ICON was honored to contribute to this momentous occasion, helping to mark a historic chapter in SickKids journey. This project exemplifies ICON’s ongoing commitment to excellence, creativity, and our valued partnership with SickKids Foundation.
