Course Description

A multidisciplinary team from SAGE (Society for Gerontological Environments) conducted a post-occupancy evaluation (POE) of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe Care Center, a finalist in the 2024 Environments for Aging Design Showcase. SAGE compares the project’s stated design goals against the outcomes to assess how the building functions for both residents and staff. The presentation highlights the successes as well as suggests ideas for improvements.

NOTE: This is a 90-minute session.
