Staff Design Recommendations
-
Adjustable lighting should be considered within almost every space; uplights, downlights, dimers and sensory lights
-
Storage is essential, but suitable storage is even better (e.g can fit larger pieces of equipment)
-
Bigger door frames are good for allowing different items in and out of spaces; as well as for manoeuvrability. It also will accommodate for changes in products and technologies in the coming years
-
Less clutter the better. If there are things on the wall they should be structured and organised.
-
Colour wise; Red is considered 'bad' for those who are autistic. However, it is found a lot in Hazelwood due to the stark contrast. This contrast is essential but can be easily done using other colours.
-
Acoustics are extremely important. A person can recognise an area by the change in volume within the space. For example, the noise level increase going from a large open space to smaller corridor
