IIDA Oregon Chapter reposted this
Washington State School for the Blind's Life Skills Training Center has been nominated for the IIDA Oregon Chapter 2024 Design Excellence Awards People's Choice Awards! The design of the building focuses on how spaces feel, smell, and sound rather than solely relying on visual appeal. To promote communal interaction between residents and enhance social skills, the shared living area provides soft furnishings; the dining room features a tactile art gallery wall with pieces created by blind and low vision artists; and spaces are provided for those who want to play instruments, make art, or exercise together. We're honored to be nominated for this category and would love your support in casting a vote by Friday, October 18th!
