Environments for Aging announced the winners and finalists of its 2022 EFA Design Showcase, an annual awards program that recognizes outstanding achievements in the design of senior living communities.
A jury appointed by The Society for the Advancement of Gerontological Environments (SAGE), The Center for Health Design, the International Interior Design Association, and the American Society of Interior Designers reviewed submissions. In the end, 49 projects were accepted for publication in the Showcase, with four being named finalists, three receiving Honorable Mention, and one garnering the top honor of Award of Merit.
