GSF OF RENOVATION/
MODERNIZATION:
2,560 sq. ft.
COMPLETION DATE
June 2019
This project demonstrates that even small renovations can result in serious impact,
especially when designing for seniors. Though just 1,620 square feet in size, the
Southington Care Center's nurses' station has been transformed into an effective
and stimulating environment for the center's residents and staff. Southington
Care Center is a nonprofit 130-bed skilled rehabilitation and long-term nursing
facility. It is home to about 65 residents who are living with different stages of
dementia. The design team was challenged to re-envision the space as a place
for resident engagement. To do so, it opened the space up and inserted a series
of cascading areas, including a smaller and friendlier nurses' station, an activity
room with a fireplace and large-screen television, and an outdoor terrace that
floods the space with natural light. The nurses' station, now disguised behind a
custom CNC-milled privacy panel, still allows staff to keep an eye on residents.
Natural light is supplemented with wraparound LED fixtures. The team also tucked
lighting into the handrails that run through the space, creating higher contrast for
residents and imbuing the corridor with pleasant illumination.
FROM THE JURY
" Details within the space
promote socialization,
therapy, and thoughtful
interaction not only
with each other but the
space itself. "
