Integrating Storage Across Campus: How Adaptability Starts With Flexible Storage

Program Descriptions: (Counts toward one AIA/HSW LU) Planning spaces for higher education environments are about much more than lecture halls and dorms – A campus is a place of learning and working, socializing and relationship-building, wellness, and discovery. This presentation will walk you through how to design facilities that not only help recruit & retain students and faculty, but also manage risk, improve efficiencies and safety, and help create flexible, future-proof spaces. This presentation will also outline trends and challenges that are impacting campus facility design and demonstrate how thoughtful storage solutions can help create highly functional interior spaces and directly influence the campus’s ability to achieve its mission.

Transforming Libraries To Meet User’s Changing Needs

Program Description:(Counts toward one AIA/HSW LU) Libraries have responded to the changing needs of the communities they serve and are seeking to create more flexible, open, and technology-rich spaces. Architects and designers are required to design for flexibility and openness within existing and limited spaces. In this course, architects and designers will learn how to combat these challenges by using furniture, fixtures, and equipment that are able to reduce the amount of space being used for book storage and increase the availability of space with flexible FF&E. Through the proper design and use of mobile FF&E, designers will be able to design libraries that respond to up and coming trends.

Designing Healthcare Facilities: Improving Patient Care, Controlling Costs, And Saving Space

Program Description:(Counts toward one AIA/HSW LU) Space in healthcare centers is expensive to design, build, and occupy, and every cubic foot that’s used for storage is space that could be used for patient care. This presentation counters the misconception that storage space is “wasted” because it doesn’t visibly impact patient care and directly generate revenue. In fact, convenient and thoughtfully designed storage for supplies and equipment can actually improve productivity, patient care, and profitability. Participants will examine challenges within the healthcare environment that affect workflows and the health, safety, and welfare of occupants; learn how FF&E can contribute to occupant wellness and LEED certification, and view real-world case studies.
