Graduate Spotlight: Lauren Freeman – Interior Designer
Elizabeth Rock Designs, a new interior design firm, is bringing “green” design to the healthcare and assisted living community. With ten years of experience the founder, Lauren Freeman, is creating comfortable, eco-friendly, fully functional and aesthetically pleasing designs.
Retirement of the aging baby-boomer demographic has contributed to the increased amount of renovation and new construction of assisted living facilities. According to Freeman, “Antimicrobial finishes, ergonomics and sustainable design have all become staples in the healthcare community. And with the advances in today’s technology, products and materials have improved in both quality and cost.”
Administrators are now able to enhance the lifestyle of their patients while contributing to or preserving the environment. Says Freeman, “it reduces operating costs, generates tax breaks and promotes a safer work-place for employees. Its just good business.”
The firm offers consulting, design, selecting, purchasing, managing and staging services for its clients. In Ohio, Freeman has done design work for “Anna Maria” of Aurora, “The Weils” of Bainbridge, “Brentwood Healthcare Center” in Sagamore Hills and “Grace Hospital” in Cleveland.
