Hospital room goes green
Boston Globe, April 1, 2009
Designed by the architectural firm Anshen + Allen, International Facility Management Association and partnered with construction manager Skanska USA Building, a 400-square foot green patient lab was designed to demonstrate that green materials and technologies can be incorporated into hospital construction. The design team took some pointers from environmental psychology to design a room that can help patients and family feel more comfortable and in control, and without exorbitant costs.
