Members of an interdisciplinary design group, funded to conduct ongoing research in state psychiatric facilities, developed a process by which a seven-year-old facility for geriatric patients could be better adapted to meet users' and program needs. The facility, considered good by many standards, had been planned on a "motel model"more suitable for transient occupancy than for providing opportunities for interaction, communication, stimulation, and challenging roles. Randomly selected residents and staff were involved in making decisions about design changes, which focused on rearranging and remodeling day-rooms to increase interaction. The controlled research design, involving baseline and follow-up evaluations, indicated that measurable, positive changes in residents' behavior occurred, especially among residents who took part in decision-making about the environmental changes.
一个跨学科设计团队的成员获得资金，在州立精神病设施中进行持续研究，他们开发了一个流程，通过该流程，一个已有七年历史的老年患者设施可以更好地进行调整，以满足用户和项目需求。该设施在许多标准下都被认为不错，它是按照“汽车旅馆模式”规划的，这种模式更适合临时居住，而不是提供互动、交流、刺激和具有挑战性角色的机会。随机挑选的居民和工作人员参与了关于设计变更的决策，这些变更主要集中在重新布置和改造日间活动室以增加互动。涉及基线和后续评估的对照研究设计表明，居民的行为发生了可衡量的积极变化，尤其是那些参与了环境变更决策的居民。
