Learn about the New Investigator Award: https://loom.ly/iAamALg We are now accepting proposals for the Joseph G. Sprague New Investigator Award! Presented by The Center, we will award up to $15,000 to support high quality research by new investigators around the world, whose research can fill critical gaps in the field of evidence-based design. It is open to graduate students, and other recent research degree recipients whose contributions reflect their potential to conduct original, empirical research to improve our understanding of the relationships between the physical environment and health-related outcomes & wellness.

Learn more and register: https://loom.ly/XEuVDvo The repercussions of gaps in healthcare facility wayfinding are everywhere. Patients and families unable to find a department, office or clinic can result in a costly missed appointment and rescheduling a busy physician. A sick patient taking an unnecessarily long and circuitous route from one place to another creates additional dangerous health and safety risks. Plus, frustration over poor wayfinding can negatively impact patient outcomes and reduce satisfaction scores. Early implementation of innovative wayfinding strategies can significantly reduce costs to your healthcare project. This webinar will enlighten your teams about how wayfinding touches every step along the design path and the patient journey. You'll hear Cybelle Jones of Society of Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD) share how an early opportunity checklist will save real money and improve design outcomes.

Register for both webinars at this link: https://loom.ly/uQirfvw Join us for our behavioral health webinar day on Thursday! Starting at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET, hear speakers Jon Sell, Stephen N. Parker AIA NOMA NCARB LEED AP and Brendan Mullins of Stantec share how AI can help us create more accurate design prototype mock-ups. Attendees will analyze what is required to plan for and implement a full-scale mockup and how the combination of an analog and AI approach improves the overall design of the space. Following at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET, Melanie Baumhover, AIA and Devan Swiontkowski, EDAC of BWBR, Brian Waiblinger of the Department of Social and Health Services & Behavioral Health Administration and Jim Wolch of BCRA will describe the design process of a new model of care for community-based treatment. In response to Governor Inslee’s plan to reform the Washington State’s behavioral health system and improve access to care, an innovative and immersive programming and design process for several new community-based facilities was employed. Attendees will explore specific examples of a team and community- based approach to design, and the advantages in shifting the paradigm towards community-based facilities.
