Senior Center Design -- An Architect's Discussion of Facility Planning
A design manual is provided for architects and other professionals involved in the planning and development of a facility for senior citizens. A description of the daily activities which normally take place in a senior center is presented. At the majority of such centers, four principal components comprise the scheduled group activity programs: dining, special programs, meetings and classes, and arts and crafts. The most popular activities are dances, card parties and special programs. The type of room best suited for each kind of activity is described. It is suggested that the auditorium, or multipurpose room, should be free of columns and partitions. There should be at least one large room in each senior center that is free of obstructions. Special characteristics of the elderly which should be considered when the facility is being designed are noted. Ways that the space can be planned to provide the optimum environment for the center's elderly population are described. Checklists which can be referred to during the design process are included, as are photographs.
