When building a new hospital, there are no do-overs.  It is important to get it right the first time and include hospital users in the design process.

Before breaking ground at the new DMC’s Children’s Hospital of Michigan, the design team built the entire hospital out of cardboard and invited patients, families and staff members to test it out. The following video shows how user feedback affected the final build.
