The post-pandemic influx of vacant retail and commercial space is providing a generational opportunity for communities and care providers to acquire and re-purpose large, well-located, existing structures to serve the healthcare needs of surrounding communities. 

It’s also an opportunity for well-prepared healthcare designers to flex their creative muscles in new, exciting and profitable ways.

This story of the adaptive reuse of a beloved Sears store in Austin, Texas to meet the public health needs of a growing and underserved community provides a wealth of insights and lessons learned to help design, construction and provider organizations considering or planning similar conversions.

Presenters will share the unique design considerations, time and budget expectations, and challenges faced with converting a multi-level retail big box to healthcare business occupancy which houses community clinics – for example, what’s required to place patient spaces, especially imaging, into the basement – along the way to creating a supportive, essential healthcare hub.

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate. As of July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design requires a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
