REPORT
AIA identifies solutions to mitigate
threat of COVID-19 in senior living
communities
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) published a new
report that details strategies to reduce the risk of COVID-19
transmission in senior living communities. The report, "Strategies
for Safer Senior Living Communities," was developed by a team
of architects, AIA's Design for Aging knowledge community,
public health experts, engineers, and community managers as
part of AIA's initiative Reopening America: Strategies for Safer
Buildings. The team used emerging research and public health
data to develop the approaches. The report includes:
* Details on hazards that administrators need to consider
when adapting senior living communities to be safer,
including aerosolized transmission of virus droplets through
HVAC systems and touching shared surfaces
* Strategies to reduce risks in gathering areas, such as
dining rooms or common areas, and during group activities,
including providing touchless access at common doors
and evaluating heating, cooling, air exchange, and filtration
systems, particularly in common areas
* Strategies to reduce risk in program and amenity spaces,
including clear signage about physical distancing and
adopting personal protective equipment usage per Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
The strategies are intended to work in tandem with other
resources and tools for senior living communities focused on
enhanced safety procedures, including AIA's Risk Management
Plan for Buildings, which assists with assessing hazards and
applying architectural or engineering strategies, and its Reoccupancy Assessment Tool, which provides best practices focused on protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public
while reopening facilities, including senior living communities.
