As exciting as the construction of a new building can be for any organization, there’s nothing pretty about it.
At Women & Infants Hospital, workers erected a towering wooden wall between the main entrance and a construction site where a five-story addition to the hospital is being built. The wall is designed to shield patients, visitors and staff from the dust and noise wafting off the construction site.

Today, students from the Lincoln School in Providence, armed with paint donated by Adler’s Hardware, beautified a portion of the wooden fencing with a mural called “Connected Hands.” The mural features an interwoven design of hands of varying sizes to represent all ages and outlined in a rainbow of colors to represent diversity.
