This course has been discontinued.
This course is divided into four major sections – Acoustics, Lighting Design, Interior Design, and Renovation, Restoration, and Reuse. Acoustics, of course, deals with sound. We will cover the many acoustical considerations to keep in mind when designing for everything from the public areas to the very private ones. In the Lighting Design section we’ll cover the basics of light levels, lamping options, and daylighting. We’ll also review guidelines for specialized spaces, as well as resident rooms in long-term care and assisted living facilities. The Interior Design chapter will discuss the design process, various trends, and guidelines for color, materials, and wayfinding concepts. For Renovation, Restoration, and Reuse, we’ll explore options for rehabilitation, deconstruction, and new construction for the various types of facilities.
We’ll provide comprehensive guidelines, many images of examples, and tables of additional information. You’ll get opportunities to apply what we’re covering, and printable resources to reference in the future.
