Pantene Beautiful Lengths
Beautiful Lengths is a partnership between Pantene and the American Cancer Society. The role of Pantene is to help women grow long, strong, beautiful hair and to provide the funds to turn this hair into free, real-hair wigs for women with cancer. So far, Pantene has donated 24,000 free, real-hair wigs to the American Cancer Society’s wig banks, which distribute wigs to cancer patients across the country. To us, it’s hair, but to women with cancer, it’s hope.
The American Cancer Society TLC is a not-for-profit website and catalog of the American Cancer Society meant to help women cope during and after cancer treatment by providing wigs and other hair loss products (plus how-to information), as well as mastectomy products, all at affordable prices.
Each Hope Lodge offers cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city.
Reach To Recovery volunteers offer understanding, support, and hope because they themselves have survived breast cancer and gone on to live productive lives. Program volunteers do not provide medical advice.
The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.
Look Good Feel Better is dedicated to improving the self-esteem and quality of life of people undergoing treatment for cancer. It is our aim to improve their self-image and appearance through complimentary group, individual, and self-help beauty sessions that create a sense of support, confidence, courage, and community.

While redesigning the west façade, the Team introduced high-performance, low-e glazing with fixed vertical and horizontal sunscreens. This was modeled to reduce solar heat gain on this face by about 94% compared to the existing configuration. In addition, by exposing the existing posttensioned concrete structure, the Team combined floors, creating twostory heights and glazing, wonderfully expanded views, and a 5th-floor terrace where occupants hold meetings, enjoy lunch, and work on laptops via WiFi and computational-node “clouds.” Humidity and condensation issues preclude the use of operable windows in most of the studio areas.

SEKHMET
The Ancient Egyptians fulfilled a practice of preventative and curative health through the ideas of medicine and magic. They did this by praying to Sekhmet, the goddess of healing, and carrying out their practices of holistic medicinal recovery. This space will capture their ideals of spiritual healing, medicinal healing, and massage as well as the importance of the papyrus plant. Sekhmet is most often depicted wielding her healing scepter formed from papyrus. The Egyptians saw papyrus as a multi-functional plant that was used in healing as also in recording their medicinal practices. As the Egyptians focused on energy healing and spirituality, the space will represent a modern-day Egyptian Healing Temple through abstract representation of forms, particularly the papyrus plant, patterns, and colors while preserving the culture and inspiring restorative health.

WIG STORAGE
The lighting in the space draws from the concept of Ancient Egypt and their holistic healing methods. The Egyptians brought light into their spaces in interesting ways since they were established long before the dawn of electricity. Therefore, cove lighting and wall washing was implemented as much as possible throughout the space to conceal the light source and create the illusion of light that does not come from a fixture. Areas that required more direct lighting were accommodated with recessed down lights, track lights, or glass pendants.

1 ENTRANCE LOBBY The entrance lobby welcomes users to the space. Upon arrival, guests have multiple touchdown points to discover the space and its uses. An interactive table provides users with a digital option to determine their own place within the center and experience stories of other patients and community members who have benefited from the space.
Reception Desk
A receptionist is also located in the lobby to welcome guests and provide direction to new users. A wooden screen wraps to the second floor to provide connection between spaces and add visual interest to the double-height space.

2 PATIENT INSPIRATION LOBBY WALL The patient inspiration wall is located at the far end of the lobby. This story-telling piece provides a visual reminder to all users of the importance of the space. The wall is filled with images of women that have benefited from the center whether they received a wig, attended counseling, took a cooking class, or received hope in some other way. The wall of photos gives brief glimpses into the wig creation station in the next room. This reveal allows users to make a direct connection to the community members’ efforts to provide empowerment to the women who seek the support of the center.

WIG CREATION STATIONS
The wig creation space is designed to bring together community members and breast cancer patients. Through the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program and TLC, users who donate their hair may become a part of the wig creation process. Breast cancer patients can meet the people who donate their hair and be a part of the development of the creation of their wig as guided by TLC professionals. Bringing the two ends of the wig creation process together provides a unique experience for all users.
Wig Creation Stations
Each wig creation station has a Steelcase Coalesse table and eight Herman Miller Nelson Pedestals as well as a custom, built-in mirror to allow the patients to see the reveal of their new, real-hair wig. Steelcase Coalesse Table

BEFORE/AFTER PHOTO
The before and after picture station provides an exciting addition to the donation process. A fun, photo boothstyle atmosphere lets the users document their donation process before and after their haircut. After their haircut, the users may print copies of their photographs as well as choose to have their before/after picture displayed on the screen behind the reception desk in the lobby of the salon for future users to see, and become inspired by, when they check in.

6 STYLING STATIONS The styling stations are designed to foster community and create a unique styling experience. The mirrors are suspended from the ceiling and dual-sided to maximize the number of guests that can receive styling services. The mirror frame mimics the wall motif as well as the screen in the main entrance lobby to make the spaces cohesive. As an innovative addition to the donation and styling processes, each chair has a camera installed in the ceiling above it. The mirror has an inlaid screen so that the guests can watch their hair being donated from the view of the above camera.

SHAMPOO STATIONS
The shampoo stations are located at the end of the building where the ceiling is double height. The ceiling was dropped above this area to provide direct light for the stylists and isolate the stations as a separate experience. Mounted to the tile back splash of the storage are magnetic chalkboards. This provides the users with an added opportunity to leave a note, a picture of a loved one with breast cancer, or simply sign their name to leave their mark on the center as a participating community member.

8 FULL NAIL SALON The full nail salon is an addition to the existing program of a Pantene Shine Hair Spa. The nail salon creates another opportunity for community interaction. The pedicure stations, especially, provide comfort for the users and fosters communication with the family room feel of the sectional sofa. Similar motifs and materiality are carried over from theW hair salon to create continuity between the spaces.
