Rehabilitation Cell
Shortly after starting this project my viewpoints on what a prisoner should be entitled to have changed dramatically. When I first began looking at prison facilities and what they were designed to accomplish; having a bed, desk, and a television were the maximum amount of what I believe a prisoner should be permitted. After conducting further research on this topic, I now realize that it is not the amount of materials that a person owns or possesses, it’s the play on an individual’s freedom that I believe is the most effective route for the future of prison design.
Within this rehabilitation cell I plan to use natural light in a way that it illuminates the space making this cell feel as if it’s an outdoor oasis. In doing this, this cell will become one that is therapeutic; that will inspire one to evaluate themselves and effectively take control of their life.

Innovative Hand Washing
In Environmental Design IV, we were asked to create something that combats issues of hand washing. The sink prototype that was created from this was one that eliminates standing water from around the sink and eliminates the germs that come along with traditional hand dryers.
Redesign of Men's Bathroom Faucets at the Gatewood Studio Arts Building:
The entire faucet runs on motion sensors and each end has running water, moving over to the first set of vents which vacuums the excess water off of the hands, and last is the center in which the hands are heated.
Water - Vacuum - Heat - Vacuum - Water
(Sink Station Designed for Two People at Once)
