Challenge
The repositioning of Nazareth Living Center sought to combine independent living, assisted living memory care, assisted living, short-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing on one campus. Due to the complex phasing of the project, one of the challenges the design team faced was incorporating client feedback from recently completed projects into projects currently under design, while still keeping on schedule and maintaining the integrity of the design throughout the process.
Solution
Lawrence Group remained diligent in listening to the client’s feedback on issues such as color and patterns on fabric to be able to incorporate best practices into future phases of the project while still keeping to the project schedule. In one case, the design team provided sample seating for dining chairs to do a “sit test” prior to ordering furniture. This allowed for end users to give their feedback on durability, comfort and aesthetic prior to selection and incorporation into the next phase of the project.
