With a 16-bed residential program, partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient program, café, dedicated garden spaces for staff and patients, gym, and music room, the facility benefits from its low carbon impact, its modular components that can be assembled off-site to reduce cost and schedules, and its anxiety-lowering properties.  

During this webinar, you’ll hear how Garden Spot Village in New Holland, PA, partnered with a sonic treatment composer and a gerontological researcher to study whether purposeful sonic environments can help reduce the stresses associated with declining physical ability and memory loss.

This webinar will highlight the interior design considerations and subsequent design decisions for Children’s Minnesota to meet the surging demand for pediatric mental health services. To ensure the new space met the specific needs of patients and their families, the design team consulted with the Children’s Youth Advisory Committee, a group comprised of patients aged 10 to 18.
