The Comforting Elements of Tennessee

Importance of complementary supportive care services - Teaching kitchens, cancer support groups, and education support (Annemans et al., 2012; Sadek and Willis, 2019; Townsend, 2021)
The research for this project highlighted the impact of physical environmental features and human factors [ such as control, privacy, and ease of maintenance ] on creating environmenments that are both healing and therapeutic.
Color coding - significant impact on orienting people in the built environment to differentiate specific zone within one floor, this will aid people orientation and navigation in the built environment (Alansari, 2022).
Patients prefer shared spaces over curtained cubicles (Sadek & Willis, 2019)
Patients prefer both landscape and floral imagery (English et al., 2017)
Visibility and proximity have a substantial impact on the delivery of care and staff experience., providing efficient communication and efficient work (Xuan X, Chen X, Li Z., 2020).

Kingdom Dominion’s concept incorporates warmth, nature, and multiple points of intersection.It was important to create an inviting color palette that was both exciting and inviting for all users. With a simple floor plan, this project prioritizes easy wayfinding.
Seating over 300 people, the sanctuary focuses on lighting and acoustical elements. Featuring acoustic ceiling tiles and acoustic panels on the wall, the sanctuaryhas a high Noise Reduction Control (NRC) level. Further, LED stage lighting has been incorporated to create unique lighting conditions. To create a more intimate setting, the stage has been raised to invite those sitting in the audience into the worship experience.
