D.C. healthcare facility waiting room wins Generative Space Award

The Unity Health Care waiting room redesign project honored for involving community in design process


The Unity Health Care Brentwood health center waiting room redesign project won the 2018 Generative Space Award, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.

The project at the D.C. healthcare facility tested whether community involvement in the design process could result in improved satisfaction for patients and staff.

The resulting design reflects their input on color, pattern and the story of the community, and by weaving these elements into the space, it inherently feels more welcoming to the people who visit and work there, according to an architect on the project.

The design team hosted community and staff events, surveyed staff and observed people using the waiting room to gather insights into what was important to patients and staff who visit and work at the health center.
