A waiting area at a medical clinic will look dramatically different from the lobby area at a university.
In a medical setting, calming colors, clean lines, comfortable seating and natural light will help neutralize unwanted anxiety for patients. For universities, a lobby area should be interactive and engaging. Furniture that is comfortable and flexible is key. Colors that are fun and energizing work great in this type of setting. Noise levels are important but need to reflect a collaborative space where students can study together and work individually without interruption.
