    The COTE Measures are now the AIA's Framework for Design Excellence, and our COTE news series on the Measures continues with the CDC's Liz York on Measure 7: Design for Wellness:

    "When we build anything, we must ask, how does this building sustain health? Is any part of the design harmful to people? Could we make other design choices that improve social, mental, emotional, or physical health?"
