Center For Disability Services

The Center for Disability Services is a non profit organization that provides care to those in need and empowers people with disabilities to lead healthy, happy, and productive lives. The goal of this project is to redesign the lobby of the Kevin G. Langan and Clover Patch Pre-School to create a more welcoming and functional space. The space must be comfortable for those who use it every day as well as set an impression for guests. Users require a functional space with security and accessibility for individuals with physical and cognitive needs. When redesigning the space, we must consider all of these factors to come up with the most successful solutions. This space will welcome students with open arms regardless of their physical or cognitive ability and use effective branding, acoustics, furnishing and finishes selections, lighting, and security measures to ensure so. By reconsidering the placement of furnishings, incorporating solutions to improve sensory sensitivities, and implementing new finishes that best suit the needs of the students we can make the space more enjoyable to use.
