Healthcare Design - January 2015 - 16

MONITOR
Last summer, as the Ebola virus continued to make
headlines, architect George Mann, a professor at
the College of Architecture at Texas A&M University
(College Station, Texas), was preparing to start a new
school year and a new research and design class
with masters of architecture students.
The timing inspired Mann to challenge his students
to tackle some of the issues he was reading about,
such as the shortage of transportable and mobile
units and safe work conditions for healthcare workers, by designing and constructing a rapidly deployable, sustainable, modular isolation unit for Ebola and other communicable diseases.
"What bothered me was the idea of bringing people into a community or a hospital [for Ebola treatment]," where they could infect others,
Mann says.
He wanted students' designs to be freestanding and transportable, so they could be set up away from populated areas. Students
also had to consider how their module would be transported to a
treatment site and how graphics could be used to instruct workers on how to build the units regardless of where they were and
languages spoken.

a consultant on the project,
shared the finished ideas with some members of Congress. "At the
time they started, Ebola had not come to our country, but it certainly
did in the middle of their work, and [the students] offered real solutions to consider," he says-AD
