Finding Funds for Sustainability: GBBN’s IRA Calculator Goes Live!
GBBN has publicly released its Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Calculator, a tool that helps our clients—and now, the wider public—understand funding opportunities in the IRA for sustainable design. “People generally understand the goals of the IRA, but in conversations with developers and others in the building industry, we’ve found they frequently don’t understand its details […]
More than just places to eat, campus dining facilities are social and study hubs. Research shows that student persistence and success are driven by their sense of engagement and belonging. Campus dining facilities offer key moments to help students make social connections and build their peer networks. The renovation of The Exchange at @carnegiemellon nearly doubles the dining area. Varied seating postures—high-tops near the windows, booths for a more intimate meal with friends, and communal tables—enable students to choose how to eat and engage with their peers. #architecture #design #highered #highereducation #dininghall #dining #campusdining

Contemporary, not clinical.
Working closely with @trihealth`s team on the new Women`s Services clinic at their Liberty location, the staff made clear their desire for a restroom that didn`t feel clinical. This will do nicely, don`t you think? The pops of color, soft pink ceiling, textured tile, boldly graphic sink create something truly special. Patients make choices about where to seek care. Differentiators like this can impact their decision-making. #architecture #design #interiordesign #interiors #healthcare #clinic #health #womenshealth #medical #medicalofficebuilding photo @cincyphil

We recently secured a research grant for a rigorous Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) of a pediatric behavioral health facility: the new William K. Schubert M.D. Mental Health Center, which we designed for @cincychildrens. A triad research partnership was established between Cincinnati Children`s, GBBN, and the Architecture + Health Program at @clemsonuniversity. GBBN sponsored a team of Clemson researchers, led by Dr. Lyndsey Deaton, together with a total of eight doctoral and master`s students, to help observe milieu spaces. This study fills a research gap by exploring public areas within the inpatient pediatric behavioral health facility, focusing on milieu spaces that support this care model.
Once the study is complete, we will share our results. We`ll also use the findings to publish a one-of-a-kind toolkit that can help the pediatric health community better understand how behavioral health facility design can impact operations and outcomes. Why is this important? Adolescents are experiencing unprecedented levels of mental and behavioral health issues with 1 in 5 American children and young adults experiencing a mental health disorder each year. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-14. Leading pediatric health systems are leveraging every tool, including facility design, to improve how they support and treat adolescent mental health. #architecture #design #research #healthcare #health #mentalhealth #mentalwellbeing #behavioralhealth #wellbeing #wellness #milieu #postoccupancyevaluation #POE #newconstruction

Loved having architecture and design students from the @aiascmu and @cmusoa Northeast Quad Conference in our #pittsburgh office last week! The conference theme "Des(AI)n encourages participants to explore the intersections of technology, design, and culture and to empower designers and AI enthusiasts to shape a future where AI driven architecture enhances the city`s livability, sustainability, and cultural vibrancy. #architecture #design #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #highereducation #highered

Choices.
Working in the office doesn`t have to mean sitting in the same spot all day. Choosing where to work, how to sit (or stand) and whether you want acoustically private or social spaces can improve comfort, well-being, and productivity.

The first floor of @miamiuniversity`s King Library has been transformed to provide students choices in how they they work and spaces that support their well-being through abundant daylight. Warm wood accents and inviting textures invite students to linger and connect. The master planning process for Miami University’s King Library identified this project position the ground floors into a hub that provides access to resources campuswide. We`re presenting more insights around this project today at @scup_highered_planning North Central Regional Conference in Minneapolis #libraries #librariesofinstagram📚 #academiclibrary #academiclibraries #architecture #design #campuslibrary #campusdesign #highered #highereducation #campusplanning #renovation @ryanckurtz

Imagine a log, sliced through...
Two @ludowici tiles types, same profile, shape, and material but different colors, meet at the edge of @rmhcdayton`s exterior. The darker tiles have a hint of copper and contribute to the overall neutrality the team was looking for. The combination of red tiles add richness, texture, a sense of playfulness and help emphasize the the quintessential house shape of this project, highlighting the idea of home for the families who will stay here while their child receives lifesaving medical treatment nearby #architecture #design #tile #tiledesign #tilestyles #tilestyle #terracotta #durabledesign #sustainability #color #madeinohio #colorful #home #homesweethome #tilelovers #facade #facadedesign #facadelovers

@rmhcdayton`s new house is coming along nicely! Absolutely loving these @ludowici terracotta tiles against this cloudless blue sky. So good so good so good! The tiles were manufactured in New Lexington, Ohio, just about 2 hours east of the building site--such a sustainable, durable, and beautiful choice that really helps evoke the warmth of home #architecture #design #newconstruction #tile #tiles #terracotta #cladding #local #fabricator #fabrication #maker #making #craft #craftsmanship #sustainable #sustainabledesign #resilience
