Environments for Aging (EFA) Design Showcase
Each year, the Environments for Aging Design Showcase features a comprehensive review of architectural and interior design projects representing outstanding innovative design solutions in new or renovated senior living environments around the globe.
SAGE assembles a multidisciplinary jury who serve on the expert panel in evaluating up to seventy submissions each year. This esteemed jury includes architects, interior designers, consultants, regulators, health care providers and academic/research professionals.
The jury process involves both a virtual, electronic evaluation and an in-person, group-based review. The panel of experts come together for lively debate, discussion and evaluation to identify innovative design solutions that promote person-centered care and forward-thinking strategies in senior living.
SAGE is an integral team member in collaboration with Emerald Expositions, The Center for Health Design, the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), and the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) in producing this Annual Design Showcase.
SAGE – along with a panel of representatives from the winning entries – presents the results at the annual EFA conference and via webinar.
