Designing in the Dining Room
There aren’t many of us who enjoy being in the hospital, whether it is for ourselves or visiting family members. In years past, the cafeteria at the hospital has always left something to be desired. This is rapidly changing. Designers are starting to focus on the cafeterias as well as other parts of the hospital in order to lift the mood and improve the satisfaction of staff and family members alike.
Healthcare Design Magazine recently had a great article about all the new aspects designers are looking at and implementing when they redesign the old cafeterias into new dining rooms. Below are a few of the photos from the article. To read the entire piece and see the remainder of the photos, click here.
