This week on The Weekly, BD+C editors spoke with leaders from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Henderson Engineers, and Shawmut Design & Construction on three timely topics:
• Is the open-plan office dead?
• Misconceptions around advanced infection control strategies like UV lighting and bi-polar ionization.
• The post-pandemic hotel and hospitality market, from the “competition for cleanliness” to the latest trends in amenities and features.
SEGMENT 1: Why the open-plan office will continue to thrive post-COVID-19, and the long-term ramifications of the virus on workplace design. Peter Lefkovits, AIA, Director, and Lori Maas, IIDA, CID, LEED AP, Associate Director, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
SEGMENT 2: Dustin Schafer, PE, Director of Engineering with Henderson Engineers, clears up some misconceptions around advanced infection control strategies like UV lighting and bi-polar ionization, and outlines practical, cost-efficient design strategies for maintaining healthy and safe buildings post-COVID-19.
SEGMENT 3: Randy Shelly, Executive Vice President, Shawmut Design and Construction, on the post-pandemic hotel and hospitality market, from the “competition for cleanliness” that will drive demand for hotel renovations, to the latest trends in amenities and features.
