Children’s Institute for Down Syndrome (CIDS)

Location: Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Objective:

Design a medical facility for a patient of our choosing. This project required extensive research into the medical field and the specific disorder, trauma, or disability.

I chose to design a facility that treats children with down syndrome which is a topic special to me because my little cousin has down syndrome. A local building was chosen to host this facility which has its own unique challenges which needed to be research and designed around. The theme of the space is “A Storybook” which will include enchanted forests, storybook characters, and colorful elements.
