UConn designed its renovated 4,000-square-foot research lab to house a MRI scanner while providing a welcoming, kid-friendly environment, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
The facility was designed to help make child more confortable when talking with researchers.
The designers used a number of strategies, including the use of color and plentiful daylight to create a nurturing environment.
Rich maplewood portals in the interior reduced the scale and created a more welcoming feel. A seamless, resilient flooring in the scan room introduced lively colors and patterns to help make the room less clinical and more comforting, the article said.
