Free Online Accessible Design Training
Sponsored by the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Participating architects will receive up to 6 continuing education HSW credits through the AIA. The agency was scheduled to host a live, in-person training in Parma on 5/20/2020; however, the session, and other scheduled sessions have now been changed to online-only live training sessions. The attached flyers for training sessions to be held on 5/6, 5/14, 5/20, and 5/27 provide updated training detail not yet updated on the training website.
The trainings are designed for architects, builders, and developers involved with the design and construction of multi-family housing covered by the Fair Housing Act Accessibility Guidelines. Though these Guidelines have been in effect for decades, fair housing organizations and people with disabilities often find that newly-constructed, covered housing is not built in compliance. When covered properties are not built in compliance with the Guidelines, they are less accessible to and useable by people with disabilities and they leave the architects, builders, developers, and owners of the property exposed to potential fair housing complaints or litigation, costly retrofits, and other possible claims.
HUD sponsors these Fair Housing Accessibility First trainings so that they are available for free to the public. Please see attached information on several upcoming online sessions.

AIA Ohio Call for Presentations
Sept. 24-26, 2020 in Dayton, OH
The AIA Ohio Convention, planned for September 24-26, 2020, will bring together architects and allied professionals from around the state for three days of programs and activities. The convention will take place at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, offering traditional classrooms for education as well as technology-based workshops.
The AIA Ohio Programs Task Force is interested in providing a wide range of programs that will appeal to needs of all of the convention attendees. It is the committee’s intention that programs submitted will address the needs of a broad representation of the Institute’s membership and allied professionals. Rather than forcing submissions into two or three tracks, the Programs Task Force has developed several key concepts that we hope to have addressed in the educational offerings. Those programs deemed to address the needs of the widest range of participants will be given the highest consideration.

to see the Key Concepts and access the presentation submission form.

Phil Bernstein Shares Ten Thoughts on the Future of Practice
In February of this year I gave a short talk to our Yale students about the economy and their employment prospects, suggesting that while all indicators remained strong and jobs were plentiful, it had been quite some time since our last downturn. Having seen several during my career I suggested that they would likely see a recession sometime in theirs, but cast doubt on whether we’d ever see anything as serious as 2008. If only…

How cities are reshaping streets to prepare for life after lock-down
As the daily coronavirus death toll slowly falls in Italy and cities in the country make plans for reopening, Milan is beginning to transform 22 miles of local streets, adding temporary bike lanes and wider sidewalks, and lowering the speed limit. In Berlin, some parking spots have also become pop-up bike lanes. Paris is fast-tracking long-distance bike lanes that connect suburbs to the city center. And in Brussels, on May 4, the city center will become a priority zone for people on bikes and on foot.

Buildings Closed by Coronavirus Face Another Risk: Legionnaires’ Disease
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Commercial buildings shuttered for weeks to stem the spread of the coronavirus could fuel another grisly lung infection: Legionnaires’ disease.
Public health experts are urging landlords across the globe to carefully re-open buildings to prevent outbreaks of the severe, sometimes lethal, form of pneumonia.
The sudden and sweeping closures of schools, factories, businesses and government offices have created an unprecedented decline in water use. The lack of chlorinated water flowing through pipes, combined with irregular temperature changes, have created conditions ripe for the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease, they said.

What comes next? A surgeon’s 3 predictions for the future of healthcare design
For the past month I’ve been fighting against COVID-19 on two front lines.
The first has been in the hospital. I’m a surgeon, and though my background is in operations, I was recruited to provide intensive care to COVID-19 patients, like many of my fellow medical professionals. This new job has me placing central intravenous lines in patients, managing ventilators and, at times, performing emergency surgery. It has also required working with new teams, testing novel therapies, and adapting to new roles at a moment’s notice.
