Artist Biography
Elisabeth Moffett is graduating this May with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture and plans on working at an architecture firm close to home post-grad. Originally from Burnt Hills, New York, Elisabeth has completed two internships close to home, one in Alexandria, VA, and the last was remote in NYC due to COVID-19. During her time at Endicott, she has worked as a resident assistant and became a member of the Scholars Program. Elisabeth also studied abroad in Florence, Italy during her Junior year and absolutely loved the historic and ornate architecture. While abroad, Elisabeth realized how much she enjoyed hospitality design and wanted to dive further into the niche with her undergraduate thesis. Her thesis project concentrates on cardiac patients, informal caregivers, and creating a safe space for healing and support.
Thesis Abstract
The Mainstay Hotel is part of the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio and welcomes cardiac patients, along with their informal caregivers, into a healing and community-centered environment. In order to achieve this type of hotel, Elisabeth researched healing spaces, biophilia, and different avenues of patient support. Based on her findings, she created a hotel with amenities and design elements for overall wellness and to promote a sense of belonging.
