Environments for Aging will once again recognize the individuals who are advancing the design of senior living environments. The 2019 EFA Design Champions awards program will honor those who have fought for design solutions that make a meaningful improvement in the lives of residents, staff, or the greater community.
We’re looking specifically for contributions made to the design of senior living environments within the past two years.
Nominees may include architects, interior designers, providers, owner/operators, community staff/caregivers, engineers, construction professionals, researchers, academics, etc.—anyone directly involved in the design of a senior living environment. Related work should be in settings such as skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, hospice, independent living, and 55+ housing, with considerations made for senior-specific solutions created in acute and post-acute care facilities.
All nominees for EFA Design Champions should be individuals. However, one project team award may be given to recognize a multi-person effort.
The nomination deadline is April 17, and the nomination form can be found here.
Winners will be announced this spring and recognized in the Summer issue of EFA. Winners will also be celebrated during a magazine awards luncheon to be held at the 2020 Environments for Aging Expo & Conference.
Meet the 2018 Design Champions here. The group will serve as the closing keynote panel at the upcoming EFA Expo in Salt Lake City, April 7-10.
