College Station, said giving the
architecture students input was
exciting because she wants to
help make hospitals less scary
for kids.
“I told them that having a
movie theater while you wait
would be nice,” she said.
“Tie-dyed walls would make
kids feel happier, instead of all
those adult pictures on the wall.
And I think they shouldn’t have
all those funky tools on the
walls, because that scares me.”
Mann’s students said they
carefully considered the rec
ommendations of the elemen
tary students and children at
the hospital.
Murals, movie screens, hy
drotherapy pools, bright colors
and shapes are featured in some
of the projects, at the recommen
dation of the children.
Lisa Nolen, a senior environ
mental design major, said the
design she worked on tries to
generate a warm, homey feeling.
Her group’s inspiration, she
said, came from a child who
wished “there were little houses
for kids to stay in, instead of
big hospitals.”
“The street-side of the day
care center looks like the old
hospital,” she said.
“The side facing thepij
looks like a house, sohopeW
kids won’t be frightened
they approach it.”
