    PROVIDE PRIVACY IN A BUSY, OPEN SPACE

    While waiting in healthcare environments, most people seek separation from strangers and closeness to family. Some like stimulation, while others prefer a quieter setting to focus on a task or read.

    ISOLATED, DISCONNECTED + UNCOMFORTABLE

    Overcrowded and chaotic, conventional waiting areas can increase stress, anxiety and dissatisfaction.

    • Valuable time is wasted as people sit, wait and read in what feels like a holding pattern.
    • Family members are disconnected, surrounded by strangers and limited in their ability to interact with and support each other.
    • Filled with rows of uncomfortable armchairs, waiting rooms are often chaotic and unsettling.

    COMFORT + CONNECTION

    • Thoughtfully designed waiting places can support the right levels of privacy and interaction, to make these moments of transition more meaningful.
    • A range of spaces within a space accommodate visitors of different sizes and needs.
    • Modularity means healthcare organizations can create custom configurations and repurpose over time.
