Environments for Aging announced the winners of the 27th annual Design Showcase, an annual awards program that recognizes outstanding achievements in the design of senior living communities.

In January, a jury of industry professionals appointed by The Society for the Advancement of Gerontological Environments (SAGE), The Center for Health Design, and IIDA met and reviewed submissions. In the end, 43 projects were accepted for publication in the Showcase, with two receiving top honors as Award of Merit winners. Additionally, four projects received Honorable Mention recognition and five were named finalists.

The winners will be published in Environments for Aging’s Spring issue and recognized at the 2023 EFA Conference + Expo in Charlotte, N.C., April 15-18.
