Description

As healthcare systems are looking for innovative ways to bring hospital services to rural communities and neighborhoods, healthcare architecture is challenged to include all the requirements of a licensed 24/7 hospital within a footprint that is a fraction of a traditional hospital while simultaneously designing a community-friendly building that still reflects the healthcare system’s branding.  

This course will present case studies of four micro-hospitals – each having its own unique solution while staying true to the micro-hospital model.

Hosted by the Academy of Architecture for Health AIA Knowledge Community.

Architecture makes a difference in people’s lives and it’s exciting to be a part of that process. As an Architect and Project Manager for the past 30 years, Renee is proud to materialize the building design for the benefit of our healthcare clients and the building users. She works as the primary point of contact, coordinating the design, engineering, vendors, and owner team members from the beginning to the very end of a project. With Renee, clients can always expect a level-headed approach whether it is addressing problems, harnessing opportunities, or implementing solutions. She believes the design/construction process should be engaging and fun for everyone across the entire project, while creating a sense of pride in the result.
