Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Interior Design, 2014

Hospitals are stressful and dangerous for both patients and staff. A visit to the hospital is supposed to make a patient feel better; but with stress of procedures, noise, disruptions, lack of sleep, and being away from home, patients feel extremely uncomfortable. Staff become stressed with the noise of alarms and fatigued from extreme walking. Based on research of factors that improve patient healing, a patient room prototype developed that optimized patient healing and satisfaction. This prototype could be used for a new hospital build or a remodel. An additional objective for this project was to redesign a current hospital floor sing this prototype to illustrate how it could be used and how it could affect the patient and staff satisfaction.
