Abstract
With the aging population increasing, the public facilities design has aroused more concern and research.

It sets up the Design Concept “Centered on the Elderly, Balanced the General”; proposes the design principles of universality, security and easy of use; analyzes the color selection of public facilities design by a sample survey of old people and makes suggestions for public facilities design elements such as materials and new technologies, etc.
