  • 1.  "Phone Booth" Covid 19 Testing

    Posted 04-03-2020 06:09 PM

    Anyone have any plans for these type of testing booths. We need to figure out a way to test folks that do not have cars – and get these up quickly. South Korea did this – a video link is here or you can search for it online

    Terrific idea. They are used often in laboratories to keep researchers safe; they are specified as isolation glove boxes. Great application!

    Situ in NYC posted their prototype efforts on the AIA COVID-19 ArchMap.  Take a look at the map to see if other projects might be of benefit to you.

    Direct link to their website is:  https://situ.nyc/fabrication/projects/covid19-relief-efforts

    If your firm, or you know of firms, who have finished or currently engaging in projects, please ask them to submit to the AIA COVID-19 ArchMap (online repository) through a simple on-line form.
