One of the project high lights is the wall
panels in the main entry and corridor. These are metal clad wood panels
installed in a shingle like fashion with accent lighting through out finished

CA and Carrier Johnson to create this unusual and artistic finish that echo's
the historic feel of Downtown Santa Ana.
