    December 2023 Webinar

    In this webinar, presenters will share insights gleaned from a collaborative endeavor to identify outcome-driven evidence-based design strategies. This initiative expanded the reach beyond the confines of long-term care, engaged students in the review of evidence-based literature, and pilot tested memory-care design strategies in renovation and new construction conditions. Presenters will share the resulting open-access evidence-based design resources that are available to all care providers and designers and identify opportunities for their application.

    June 2023 Webinar

    This webinar highlights the case study of Baptist Health Care of Pensacola and the design of their new 57-acre campus. Presenters will discuss how this integrated design team approached prefabrication of the building envelope, MEP systems, and interior components. They’ll detail the benefits and risks of prefabrication, how the process reduced the carbon footprint, and how owners can truly benefit from the added coordination. Finally, the team will discuss how they proactively communicated to eliminate pitfalls and costly design changes that come from conventional construction methods through prefabrication.

    June 2023 Webinar

    For the past hundred years, prefabrication has helped to enhance cost-effectiveness and expedite construction timelines, but it isn’t enough. This webinar will provide an update on the current market status for healthcare prefabrication projects and projections for the next decade. Attendees will see proven case study findings from multiple completed productized healthcare projects, and the impact prefabrication can have on cost and sustainability.

    May 2023 Webinar

    This webinar will address how we as programmers, designers, and planners can influence inclusive healthcare environment that serves everyone. If health disparities are to be addressed holistically and universally, then healthcare design will be an important component of that shift. For clients that are serving underserved regions, whether with the construction of new facilities or the renovation of existing buildings on campus, we owe it to all shareholders to understand the issues of inclusive architecture, and to help them set, reach and exceed goals for meeting the needs of patients and families that traditionally do not have their healthcare needs met.

    Webinar
    April 2023 Webinar

    This webinar highlights guidance on community crisis center planning, design, and construction to ensure maximum dignity and accurate diagnosis for individuals served within a safe and restorative environment of care. Presenters will share a care model that fills a gap in design recommendations for a standalone community crisis response that lies somewhere between intensive outpatient and acute hospital settings.
