Join us for the next TECHTalk, a collaboration between SAGE and Tazergy Inc. This session is FREE. Thursday, October 24, 2024 1 pm ET, noon CT, 11 am MT, 10 am PT Technology is an important component of space planning, yet it is often overlooked. If it is addressed at all, it is often only through assumptions in the design process. Yet, if a system or expectation is missed early in design, you will have a blind spot. By actively addressing technology while space planning, you can achieve the desired customization. During this TECHTalk we will cover important considerations like: --In the design world, we have two approaches: performance or design build. --Which one best suits your desired outcome? --How are you marketing and positioning your community? --What are your staff capabilities? What’s important to them? --What are your resident interests? --What is important to define and align with your brand? While tech is not mentioned in these bullet points, it will impact every one of them. Please join us as we share important programming questions to review early in design to inform technology decisions and incorporate them into the design properly.

Join us for the next SAGE webinar, "Notes from the Field: A SAGE POE of The Spires at Berry College," presented by Amy Carpenter with SFCS Architects, Migette Kaup with Kansas State University, and Leah Cobb with Berry College. This webinar is FREE. Wednesday, September 18, 2024 1 pm ET, noon CT, 11 am MT, 10 am PT SAGE has been conducting post-occupancy evaluations in conjunction with Environments for Aging Conference + Expo for the last several years. SAGE assembles a multidisciplinary team and targets EFA magazine award-winning projects.

Located on the campus of Berry College in Rome, Georgia, residents have easy access to educational and cultural activities and sporting events, and develop unique and meaningful relationships with students and faculty. Through community tours and interviews with residents and staff, the POE team works to determine what is actually working and what could be improved at this unique intergenerational community. This session provides design inspiration and evidence on good design and intergenerational programming practices that attendees can apply to their next project, or even to improve existing conditions.
