IDIA 319 Health Care Design Studio

The special circumstances of Health Care Design as it impacts patient care physically, emotionally, and holistically will be addressed in this studio course. Course content will address the research and design development necessary to work on traditional health care centers, retirement health care facilities for the aging population, and non-traditional facilities used by various cultures globally. Students will learn to design with sensitivity and respect for privacy issues when dealing with an individual patients physical examination and storage of their medical records. This is an advanced studio course that will draw on the health care community for advisement and critique. Project completion will include construction documents, digital presentation boards, and a juried power point presentation.
