The global pandemic swiftly transformed healthcare facility operations, necessitating rapid implementation of infection prevention and control (IP&C) measures. Now, more than four years later, this presentation examines the evolution of facility design in response to lessons learned. It explores which design strategies have proven effective, sustainable, or transformative in shaping best practices. Highlighted topics include recent advances in IP&C that influence strategic planning, operational efficiency, spatial dynamics, and architectural innovation. Additionally, presenters will address decision-making considerations beyond IP&C, such as cost efficiency, sustainability, and the patient, staff, and family experience. Looking ahead, the presentation also explores future design strategies leveraging advancements in science, technology, and policy.

Outdoor decks are commonly desired by homeowners and commercial property owners for both new and existing properties. Wood has long been the structural choice for outdoor deck materials. However, wood has disadvantages that can be mitigated with steel deck framing structural construction. In this course, we will discover that light-gauge steel (LGS) is lighter in weight than structural wood, is less susceptible to deterioration due to the elements and pests, requires less maintenance over time, is a sustainable material, and offers unparalleled safety features for dead loads, live loads, and environmental loads such as snow, earthquakes, and wind. Steel deck framing is quick to erect and provides for longer spans than wood of similar cross-sectional size. Structural materials can be easily lifted, and waste is reduced.
