Webinar Description
The webinar will address design issues of community health, healthcare design, and integration of community input from three perspectives:
- Macro Community Issues [Janet Baum]: Community design elements that encourage physical activity, enable smart infrastructure, reduce air pollution, and support the natural environment set the stage for positive change. Leaders in public health, architecture, and other fields have renewed appreciation for the role the built environment plays in community health and wellness.
- Hospital Campus Considerations [Joanna Lombard]: Hospitals affect neighboring communities for good and/or ill. Design in-turn can influence the nature and scale of a hospital campus impact on its neighbors.
- Community Engagement Strategies [Cynthia Beckham]: Careful planning is essential to successful collection of community design input.Given the realities of the healthcare industry, thoughtfully balanced execution of community engagement is equally essential to appropriately integrate community input into facility design.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Describe elements of the built environment impacting overall community health.
- Identify critical elements in hospital campus design that impact the neighboring community for good or ill.
- Lead a discussion on techniques for soliciting, collecting, evaluating and incorporating public input into the design of local community clinics.
- Discuss opportunities for community design, healthcare design and public participation in design to improve community health with impacts ranging from macro to site-specific.
This webinar is $25.00 for AIA members, $50.00 for non-members, and free for AIAS students.
