This non-profit facility is connected with the University and is a teaching space for students. The rooms and overall layout needs to be conducive to observing and learning. There was only a two week window for the construction work to be complete during the transition of students. Patient flow and confidentiality are the top two priorities followed closely by student collaboration. One of the main goals is an environment that will assist the teaching and student learning. Small private space for the management team and a central reception and file area where preferred features when designing the renovated space. The limited budget would require a reuse of cabinets and furniture. The purging and sorting required prior to start of construction was a large task.

Decca Design’s renovation of this non-profit university-affiliated facility is an excellent example of RODI, achieved by establishing safe and effective counseling spaces tailored to both patient care and student training. Despite the limited budget and tight two-week construction window, the redesign efficiently utilized existing materials and reconfigured spaces. The introduction of new, quieter therapy rooms, along with improved staff areas and a larger kid’s zone, significantly enhanced the facility’s functionality. This thoughtful renovation not only maintained patient confidentiality and flow but also fostered an environment conducive to student collaboration and learning, making it a valuable asset to the university’s teaching program.
