IAH 505A/510A - Healthcare Interior Environments I

Evidence based design is applied to develop healing spaces for various medical interior environments. Students undertake an interdisciplinary approach to research multiple aspects of health and healing environments in order to develop working spaces that respond to patient, family, staff, and user physical and psychological needs. The importance of staff efficiency, privacy concerns, and comfort are emphasized. Sustainable design principles are used to establish benchmarks for indoor environmental quality and other health supporting factors.
