1 AIA CES APPROVED LU AVAILABLE FOR ATTENDEES UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF AN EXAM.

Health care facilities are changing quickly and — with the recent experience with pandemics, natural disasters and the rapid technological advancements — there is dire need to ensure that building design meets future mechanical requirements. The next generation of health care buildings will be very different from the hospitals, medical office buildings and clinics that we are familiar with today.

This presentation will discuss the necessary steps needed to ensure that health care facilities are future-ready and what considerations are needed in mechanical design and smart infrastructure. The course will walk through the 10 steps that are necessary to design and build a health care facility to meet future requirements.

Course launches: Monday, May 23, 2022
