- Accessibility:
- Barrier-free environment, handrails, wide corridors, accessible bathrooms.
- Psychological Support:
- Space for individual and group sessions, relaxation area.
- Internal Navigation and Marking:
- Clear signage, illuminated panels, evacuation plans.
- Acoustic Comfort:
- Soundproofing between zones to reduce stress and conflict.
- Waste Management:
- Reliable sewage, waste recycling, separate bins for biological/technical waste.
- Design and Atmosphere:
- Use of natural materials, live plants (hydroponics), simulated daylight windows for psychological well-being.
