Risk Reducing Strategies for Schools

“Lessons learning” from how we are dealing with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in our academic institutions. The presentation will go over a short background on the virus and its airborne nature and then quickly delve into architectural and engineering solutions to mitigate its transmission.

This session will give participants a whole toolbox of techniques and response measures that can be immediately applied in K-12 and higher education environments, but also beyond to offices, gathering events and more.

Finally, our industry leading presenters will lay out the future of ventilation and design for buildings in the post-COVID 19 world and how standards and codes will begin to reflect this new reality. Join us for this exciting session which will lay out how the AEC community is building sustainability, resilience and a brighter future in the tri-state area and across the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions.
