the whirligig is on the tower!

Another COOL milestone in our master facility plan, the Whirligig logo has officially been placed on the patient tower! The logo design is based on the innovation of the Wright Brothers. As children, they were given a toy whirligig which later inspired them to pioneer flight. Dayton Children’s founders were likewise pioneers who were inspired to create a local, specialized facility to serve the needs of our community’s children.

Check out new construction photos below and shots of the Whirligig being placed on the front of the patient tower!

Don’t forget, you can always visit our construction cam to keep up with the patient tower construction.
