Presented by Academy of Architecture for Health

Calling all 4th year, 5th year, and graduate architecture students!

The Academy of Architecture for Health, Columbus Chapter, is hosting a design charrette for 4th year, 5th year, and graduate architecture students across Ohio. This charrette is a collaborative experience that challenges students to think critically about how architecture can shape the future of health and wellness.

This healthcare design student charrette brings together the next generation of healthcare architects for an inspiring, fast-paced design challenge.  The students will collaborate to reimagine the future of healthcare environments. Participants will engage with architects and designers from leading architecture firms, healthcare systems, and design organizations, gaining valuable feedback and professional insight. The charrette culminates in team presentations, where the most visionary design will be recognized.

This is a 2 session event, one 1-hour session online and one day long session hosted at the Knowlton School. There will be refreshments and lunch provided at the second session.
