Last night I sat down with my wife to watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, with a box of tissues at hand (it’s always a guaranteed tear jerker). I normally do not watch the show, but knew our friends from the HON Company had dedicated their time, energy, and products into the rebuilding of the school. Within minutes I had to find a new box of tissues for my wife, with her constantly saying, “This show gets me every time!”
As many know, in May of 2010, severe floods devastated the Nashville Area. What became a national symbol of this natural disaster was the vision of the community’s Lighthouse Pre-School floating down the local highway. Four months later ABC-TV’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition came to the rescue, enlisting the best builders and manufacturers to rebuild the facility and position it for a successful future. The HON Company responded to a call from the show’s design team to provide its award-winning SmartLink™ classroom furniture, along with seating for students as well as for instructors and aides. The contribution of furnishings also included Vicinity desks and storage units, and chairs from its Ignition seating series. All told, HON furnished the entire facility including classrooms, a lounge, reception area and administrative offices.
