Utahn's Lego hospital helps inspire fellow health care workers Full story:
BOUNTIFUL, Utah — The COVID-19 pandemic was a tough time for health care workers across the country and the world.
"St. Marci’s" is located in"Lexiville" — a busy Lego metropolis filled with beachfront activities, a firehouse, a zoo, coffee shops, donut shops, a newspaper, and much, much more. “The first part was actually all of the buildings,” Lexi said. “I buy a lot of sets and I have a lot of parts left over from the stuff that I don't use. But a lot of the extra sets come from the internet and I had them on a shelf, and my girlfriend said, you know, 'Why don't you just actually just make a city out of them? that would look great.'”It all started with a small fire engine when she was about five years old, and it has blossomed into a hobby.
“I don't know, it's just something therapeutic about snapping the pieces together, just building things. This is really just how I flex my creative side,” Lexi said."That was the start of it, and then it just kind of grew and grew, and then I started getting ideas for new buildings. I thought, 'Hey, we're gonna do a hospital.'"
“I just use my experience to inform the design and layout that the entire build,” she said. “I built, like, kind of the shell at first.”
