Call 1-888-241-7494 Today to Set Up a Free A&D Continuing Educational Seminar Luncheon (CES)!

aia continuing education & idcec Keep abreast of the latest storage system design and space planning developments with one of our CES/AIA Continuing Educational Seminar Luncheon programs. Our Continuing Education Seminar Luncheons cover a host of topics. Each topic discusses green building design issues, LEED accreditation, and sustainability trends in storage space planning and design of efficient green building facilities. Continuing Educational Seminar Luncheons are suitable for Architects (AIA), Interior Designers (ASID, IIDA), Facilities Managers (IFMA).

Continuing Education Seminar programs are typically held during the lunch hour, and lunch is provided. Each continuing education luncheon program is approximately one hour long and is worth 1 AIA/CES learning credit. Some of the luncheon programs fall under Sustainable Design and Health, Safety and Welfare (HSW) credit, which is one of the most difficult credits to obtain. Topics cover green building design, LEED, and sustainability trends for space-saving storage and filing systems, modular casework, and demountable architectural walls.

RevitFast & Fully Loaded: 5D BIM    go back to the top

Program Description: (Counts toward one AIA/IDCEC/HSW Learning Unit) In this one-hour course, design professionals will explore how a 5D BIM plug-in can improve the design process, allowing them to efficiently plan space and create storage solutions with creativity and flexibility. Dynamic design features, including accessibility and safety, with real-time pricing, enhance the creative and decision processes from conception to final inspection. Modular design and storage solutions that reduce waste and improve the built environment will be reviewed utilizing the 5D BIM plug-in to realize the multiple benefits of this technology.

Learning objectives:

  • Discuss the evolution of design tools and the current use of 5D BIM technology.
  • Describe how the 5D BIM plug-in assists with efficient space planning and storage solution options that meet all applicable accessibility, national, and local codes.
  • Explain how the plug-in’s “clash detection” capabilities can expose potential design issues prior to the start of construction.
  • Examine how modular and other storage design options create space and reduce waste, including how the 5D enhancement improves the design process for both the designer and the client.

Program Format/Length: Sixty-minute PowerPoint slide presentation including question and answer period.

Education-iconMaking the Grade Through Versatile Design in the K-12 Environmentgo back to the top

Program Descriptions: (Counts toward 1 AIA/IDCEC/HSW LU Credit) The environments and methodologies shaping the minds of young learners look vastly different today than they did even 5 years ago. No longer reporting to an assigned desk arranged neatly in a row, students now have opportunities to collaborate and learn all around the classroom and beyond. Due to the changing trends in pedagogy, flexibility is needed throughout the K-12 campus to keep students at the center and enable their success. This presentation will explore how designing spaces that are flexible and adaptable can facilitate positive learning outcomes and support the health and well-being of the entire school community. Participants will see real-world examples of how storage has assisted in creating transformative learning spaces. In addition, attendees will learn how utilizing High-Density Mobile Shelving and other storage solutions can help support LEED® certification and sustainability efforts.

Integrating Storage Across Campus: How Adaptability Starts With Flexible Storage

Program Descriptions: (Counts toward one AIA/HSW or one IDCEC/HSW Learning Unit) 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 or one IDCEC/HSW Learning Unit) 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 or one IDCEC/HSW Learning Unit) 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.
