Fall 2014 Texas A&M University "Architecture for Health" Visiting Lecture Series

Starts:  Sep 5, 2014 11:30 AM (CT)
Ends:  Dec 5, 2014 01:00 PM (CT)

Experts to discuss how technology impacts healthcare unit design


Leaders in design, engineering and information technology will discuss the design and operation of modern, state-of-the-art specialty healthcare units — including imaging and radiology centers, burn units, intensive care units, neo natal units and many more — as part of the Fall 2014 Architecture-for-Health Lecture Series at Texas A&M.

 

“New technologies are emerging daily and at an accelerating rate,” said George J. Mann, lecture coordinator and holder of the Skaggs Professorship in Health Facilities Design. Presenters in this fall’s series, he said, will present case studies of public and private sector specialty healthcare unit projects.

The lecture series, open to the public and held primarily on Fridays at 11:30 a.m in Langford C105, is hosted by Texas A&M’s Center for Health Systems & Design, the College of Architecture and the Department of Architecture

The lectures are also offered to students as a 1-hour credit course: ARCH 681 for graduate students and ARCH 481 for undergrads.

Zhipeng Lu, a lecturer in the Department of Architecture at Texas A&M University, is assisting Mann with the coordination of the lecture series.
