SUMMARY:Combining Design and Function in Today’s ADA Compliant Bathroom
DESCRIPTION:Offered and presented by Schluter Systems L.P. \nMandated requirements for ADA compliancy and demand from an aging population are creating a growing need for barrier-free bathrooms. Today’s ADA compliant bathroom no longer has to be utilitarian or “institutional” in its design. Design options are enhanced through the use of tile and innovative construction methods. The result is beautiful bathrooms that also adhere to ADA standards for accessible design. \nLearning Objectives\n– How barrier-free environments can be customized to include various design elements while remaining ADA compliant.\n– Why bonded waterproofing technology lends itself to the construction requirements of barrier-free design.\n– The principle of uncoupling\, its functions\, and history.\n– The evolution of tile setting techniques along with the benefits and limitations of each stage of development. \nPresented by Gustavo Tovar\, Schluter Systems L.P.\nArchitectural Manager\, Mid Atlantic \nSCHLUTER SYSTEMS L.P.\nProvider # : J360\nCourse: SCHL5A \nOrganized by AIA Northern Virginia \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Women in Green: Rising Collective
DESCRIPTION:USGBC VA Presents: Women in Green\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nU.S. Green Building Council Virginia Women in Green event theme this year is Rising Collective – encompassing “the Great Advancement” and “the Great Resignation.” On Wednesday April 27th\, we will be celebrating individual empowerment through collective opportunity—that the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts.

Rising Collective reflects on the spirit of togetherness\, of unity and the value of partnership during arduous times. At Women in Green\, we’ll use our collective voice to help strengthen our work in an effort to rise farther\, faster. USGBC is committed to doubling down on these concepts to help create a better\, more equitable road ahead. \nIn its 11th year\, Women in Green provides a space for leaders who are shifting the narrative on empowerment\, access\, and impact. We will gather female leaders for powerful discussions and networking that remind us that each of us is a person of great influence. \nFeatured Speakers: \n\nPhoebe Crisman\, Professor of Architecture\, University of Virginia\nGeorgie Márquez\, Owner\, Andre Marquez Architects\, Inc.\nAdditional speaker to be announced.\n\nModerator: \n\nSharlyn Thacker\, Chapter Administrator\, Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID)\n\nA 20% Student/Emerging Professional discount is available upon request\, please reach out to events@usgbc.org to get your promo code. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Architects Speak Up! Message Book Training
DESCRIPTION:While there is great respect for architects\, there’s little understanding of what we do\, or how our work affects others. Architectural practice is constantly evolving. To move the profession forward\, architects must work together to understand each other and communicate our value. Using findings from extensive research the AIA conducted about the general public’s perception of architects and architecture\, this presentation will review proven messaging strategies\, the importance of the words you use\, and how to make your message resonate with legislators\, your clients\, and the public. It’s our job to help others understand what we do\, and more importantly\, why it’s important to them. \nRegister. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | Elective \nHaven’t registered for the full Architects Speak Up! program yet? Sign up today to be part of Architects Speak Up! 2022.

SUMMARY:A Jewel in Appalachia
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Richmond and AIA Northern Virginia for a jointly held virtual event on the award-winning short film “A Jewel in Appalachia” about the transformation of the Lawrence County Public Library. The film was awarded people’s choice in the 2022 AIA Look Up Film Challenge. You will hear directly from the projects architect and filmmakers from OPN Architects and Library Director Carlie Pelfrey about the importance of this transformative project to eastern Kentucky. \nLouisa is the small-county seat of 2\,327\, in Kentucky’s largest county. It’s a place of scarcity\, where the per capita income $12\,008 and 30% of the population lives below the poverty line. The original 1960s Lawrence County Public Library\, with limited windows and collection space\, high shelves\, hidden and inadequate seating and storage\, could not deliver on the library board and director’s promise to be a beacon for learning in a place where light can struggle to break through poverty’s pervasive darkness. They were committed to a process and a promise for a renovation that would create an epicenter for the county; embrace justice\, equity\, and care; address challenges head on; highlight access and opportunity; and most importantly celebrate the belief that a modern library can thrive anywhere. The renovated library\, which opened in February 2020\, manifests this mission. It is transparent\, accessible\, flexible\, easy to navigate\, promotes digital literacy\, and is welcoming and inclusive to all ages. The library is prideful without being ostentatious. It is now a place where a love for learning is on display\, showing residents that they deserve to aspire for better. The Lawrence County Public Library is an act of love. \nEarn 1 AIA LU \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Lighting WELL
DESCRIPTION:Lighting and the WELL Building Standard \nWe know how to design environments that fuel our bodies\, keep us moving\, inspire our best work and facilitate a good night’s sleep. The Well Building Standard endeavors to provide an evidence-based process to validate an approach to design for environmental health and well-being. This seminar explores methods to achieve health and well-being in the Light Concept of the 2019 Well Buildings Standard version 2.0 as it pertains to both electric and daylighting sources. We spend more than 90% of our lives indoors. Studies show strong links between better views\, brighter light and better performance in office environments. The Light Well Concept promotes exposure to light and aims to create lighting environments that are optimal for visual\, mental\, and biological health. Discover how the standard supports circadian stimulus\, hormone levels and the sleep-wake cycles of occupants derived through scientific and medical knowledge to promote alertness\, better performance\, and better sleep quality while potentially reducing obesity\, diabetes\, depression\, breast cancer\, sleep disorders and more. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU \nRegister online.
