Suggestions for improved security at the facility were made based on function-oriented crime prevention through environmental design principles. These changes included extensive pruning back of shrubbery and coniferous trees that limited witness potential, the upgrading of lighting in parking lots and at the main entrance, and the relocation of often vandalized vending machines to a high-traffic area. Artistic changes were also made to improve facility function and appearance, with the goal of developing strong feelings of ownership among users. For example, walls were repainted a psychologically restful shade of blue, the lobby was remodeled, artwork was placed in hallways, and furniture was replaced in the multipurpose room. The artistic improvements were relatively inexpensive and contributed to improved security at the facility. 2 photographs
