Opioids are the second most used drug in the Columbus, behind alcohol. Heroin and prescription opioids are more available than they have ever been. Franklinton has the second most deaths from opioid overdose in Columbus, with 72% of those being males with the majority age between 30-39 years old.

With these deaths leaves single mothers and their children to provide for themselves. They also may not be able to cope emotional and mental struggles that come with the loss of  a partner/spouse, as well as being the sole provider of their family.

A wellness center can help restore the area by providing resources and jobs that help families have a better quality of life. In order to do so, the design will be playful, yet inviting, utilizing the main doors as a feature. The interrelation of spaces will promote efficiency, in that people can interact with other families.

Marissa Adamic will be graduating in May with her BS in Interior Design. Marissa transferred from Cleveland State University to Ohio State after realizing her passion of interior design. She knew it was right school for her after her first visit to the campus. She is fascinated with how design plays a role in impacting a person's mood or behavior, and how that can change throughout a space.
