  • In February 2020, Molly Scanlon—a licensed architect and environmental health scientist—started noticing curious videos of modular hospitals in Wuhan, China, for patients who had contracted a mysterious new virus. The hospitals were austere and institutional, bordering on factory-like, with wide, segmented bays. Prefabricated components were trucked on-site and slotted into steel frames. Patient-care rooms had negative-pressure ventilation systems to minimize contagion spread. And hospital staff were covered head to toe in personal protective equipment (PPE). But the speed of the endeavor was perhaps most impressive: From clear-cutting the site to staffing up, the first such hospital was built in 10 days, opening its doors on February 5, 2020. “When I first saw these images on social media, my architectural colleagues said, ‘Isn’t this interesting how rapidly the hospitals are being built?,’” Scanlon says. “I looked at it and said, ‘This is a pandemic response. This is a quarantine facility.’ That was a clue this was going to turn into a wide epidemic, if not a pandemic. These were signals that something is coming.” 👇 Click the link in our story & bio to read more from AIA Chairwoman Molly Scanlon on how designers can use their skills to transform existing buildings into hospitals.

  • Known for their innovative motorcycle ambulances, Autodesk Technology Centers resident @TheOkoaProject is launching a public health initiative to prevent the spread and assist in the treatment of COVID-19 in Ghana. Few homes have running water or soap in their partner community of Sissala, so the Okoa Project’s Ghana team has already begun gathering the supplies needed to make Veronica buckets, or hand washing stations, to be distributed across the 62 communities. 👉 Link to donate in our story.
