Abstract: The Lions Gate Hospital Foyer project is a detailed example of how participatory, human-centred research can aid the design process and contribute to more effective solutions in architectural design. In this paper, I outline the unique research methods implemented by a research team of four students from Emily Carr over the course of the project. I also explain how the findings from this research led the team to make recommendations that, if implemented, have the potential to dramatically improve the functionality of the hospital.
