Maurice and Robynne enjoying the new couches at RBWH.<\/p><\/div>\n

New colourful couches in the RBWH foyer are not only providing a peaceful place to sit, but are also helping visitors like Robynne and Maurice find their way around the hospital.<\/h4>\n

The RBWH Foundation CEO Simone Garske said the new furniture\u2019s colour scheme was part of a larger RBWH way finding strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strategy uses elements in the built environment, signage, pre-visit communications, and new technologies to help people navigate the hospital,\u201d Ms Garske said.<\/p>\n

The Ned Hanlon Building incorporates a green theme, the James Mayne Building uses orange and the Joyce Tweddell Building is decorated with plum. The visual cues help remind patients and visitors which area of the hospital they are in.<\/p>\n

\u201cFoundation donors have funded these couches and many other refurbishments throughout RBWH. We are very grateful to these generous individuals, as I\u2019m sure patients and visitors are too,\u201d Ms Garske said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe area\u2019s transformation not only makes the foyer more inviting, it also provides a quiet space for those either waiting to be picked-up or looking for alternative places to meet family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fabric designs used for much of the furniture are the work of renowned Walmatjarri artist Jimmy Pike.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope patients, visitors and staff enjoy putting their feet up courtesy of the extraordinary power of giving,\u201d said Ms Garske.<\/p>\n
