This webinar will introduce the latest Re-occupancy Assessment Tool, the AIA’s recently published national guidance on how to reduce risk in while transitioning back to building re-occupancy after COVID-19 lockdowns. The purpose of this tool is to provide architects, private clients, and civic leaders a general framework of strategies for reoccupying buildings and businesses that are in the process of transitioning from being fully closed to fully open.
The webinar is intended to familiarize local AIA members with the document’s context, approach, organization, sources of information and highlight certain building interventions for discussion. You will learn about a range of general mitigation techniques that range from programming, space planning, policies and policies, to MEP, physical barriers, furnishings, site work and more. You will also learn about general prerequisites recommended prior to reopening. Following the document’s introduction, there will be a discussion about anticipating potential conflicts with other design ideals such as security and sustainability.
Finally, this webinar will allow for some Q&A and member discussion on the ideas about Bay Area-specific interventions.
AIA released a new version (v3.0) of this document. This event will be the first one to use information from the latest version. We encourage registrants to read through the updated AIA’s Re-occupancy Assessment Tool in advance, which may help promote a stronger Q&A session.
After the presentation, registrants will take a 6 question quiz (multiple choice and tryue/false) and get credit for the course at their own pace.
