Workshop 2: Providing Comfort through Design during a Stressful Time

The families staying at Ronald McDonald House (RMH) are there because they have a child receiving care for a serious medical condition.  This type of stress impacts the way people view and use the space.  Families stay from a few nights to over a year in this “home away from home.”  The challenge can be finding ways to make them feel as if this is more than a temporary lodging.  Looking at literature from psychology, health, and social sciences, participants will be able to consider various factors related to stress and medical need that contribute to the design of the space.
