E4H collaborated with the University of Massachusetts Memorial Medical Center to the 8th floor Psychiatric Unit as part of a multi-phased effort to meet Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) Guidelines.

The psychiatric unit includes updated patient rooms, new social spaces, and support areas. Diverse space types allow choice of social engagement during a patient’s stay. A dedicated quiet social room benefits small group or individual activities such as art or puzzles. The adjacent sensory room offers peaceful space for reflection. Various furniture solutions provided in the noisy social space accommodate in-unit dining, television viewing and monitored computer access
