C.2
Design for Socialization in a Time of Social Distancing

Join Chuck Archer, Lisa Sneddon, and Lisa Warnock of LRS Architects for an engaging discussion on how building design can pivot and adapt to our changing reality. New data suggests that residents are living longer and avoiding other life-threatening illnesses that previously reduced occupancy due to the precautions put in place during COVID 19. For this reason, the presenters will explore strategies to implement both short-term solutions to renovate existing buildings and evaluate previously established programming assumptions in new building design. The presenters will discuss new design ideas that respond to the need to provide safe distancing for health and well-being while continuing to provide opportunities for socialization. New materials, programming ideas, floor plans, and systems will be explored and presented.

  • Attendees will learn about new ways to adapt existing buildings to be safer for residents and staff
  • Attendees will learn executable ideas for replacing furnishings and installing new safety elements in existing buildings
  • Attendees will learn new development ideas for buildings of the future
