Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. 533 Chapter 14 Review and Assess Summary ■ Commercial design projects include offices, hospitals, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and corporate offices. For these projects, interior designers must consider layout of interior walls, plumbing and power systems, and communications with other service providers. ■ The design process for commercial design projects is similar to the process for residential design projects. In commercial design, however, interior designers must meet the needs of owners, employees, and customers or guests. ■ Commercial interior designers need to be knowledgeable about building codes, including building occupancy classifications and accessibility codes. ■ Commercial interior designers consider building systems and some specialty space needs during projects. ■ Advances in science and technology (such as measures against nocosomial) affect current healthcare facility design. Current designs inspire an upbeat, encouraging attitude, but should always be sterile and safe. ■ Hospitality establishment designs should transform the hectic lives of guests into a state of tranquility, relaxation, and enjoyment. Hospitality establishment interior designers design hotels, convention center, and spas and restaurants and dining areas. ■ When designing retail spaces, commercial interior designers must consider the types of retail layouts, incorporate a decompression zone, and strategically place fixtures. ■ The design of educational facilities incorporates new technologies and promotes learning. Some educational facilities involve academic villages, or clusters of buildings. ■ Corporate office design is concerned with enhancing corporate culture, supporting communication and collaboration, catering to changing work styles, supporting generational shifts with flexibility, and supporting the need for privacy. ■ The process of designing commercial spaces is complex and involves Program Reports, the consideration of codes such as those established by the ADA, circulation patterns, and effective wayfinding.
