Environments for Aging - Spring 2019 - 59

The underutilized courtyard was
transformed into a new campus
amenity to create engaging outdoor
event spaces to complement and
enhance the wellness updates.
This includes exercise areas, a full
cooking kitchen, trellised patios,
an herb garden, a fire pit, water
features, and various social spaces,
all programmed to reinforce the connection between indoor and outdoor
spaces. Integrating the building with
the courtyard met the need for expanding program areas yet, these additions needed to integrate with the
existing building and courtyard as
well. Thus, the large windows in the
therapy suite, the enlarged windows
and the green roof at the skilled care
dining room, a continuation of the
building rhythm, materials and construction types all helped to make it
feel as one facility.
In the courtyard, the new cascading roman shade feature and rubberized paving allows outdoor fitness
activities to be protected from the
elements and a surface suitable for
numerous fitness activities. Particularly for flooring, the use of materials
approved for indoor/outdoor applications encourages physical use
and increases the perceived visual
expanse of space.
Each of the updated areas are a
direct design response to a growing
program need and each ultimately
met the goal to enhance quality of
life.
