Micro-Hospitals: Healthcare for the Community
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.
