You are invited to participate in the ACCESS Design Challenge. All ASID student members are eligible to submit a design concept that provides an innovative solution to the challenge. There are no limits—only the size of the paper. Be creative! Be innovative! Be cutting edge! Just keep it on an 11- by 17-inch piece of paper.
Selected submissions will be posted on the ASID Web site and will appear in the following issue of ACCESS. One winner will be selected by ASID professional members to receive a cash prize of $500.
Here’s the challenge:
Whether it’s gossiping about a new surgeon or bickering about who’s getting preferential treatment for “scrubbing in”, the interns of “Grey’s Anatomy” are both chatty and catty in the staff lounge at Seattle Grace Hospital. Design a lounge that can allow for both playful banter and tranquil solitude. The lounge must be 350 square feet and must contain personal lockers, a seating area, a kitchenette and a place to rest. A single ADA-compliant restroom is adjacent to the lounge, so you do not have to include one in your design solution.
Here are the rules:
- All submissions must be color-rendered, CAD or hand-drawn on a single white 11-by-17inch piece of paper.
- Submissions should include a description of 500 words or less.
- Submissions must be postmarked and mailed to ASID by July, 20, 2007.
