THE LORNA: ASSISTED LIVING CENTER
The design problem listed in IIDA’s 2023 design competition was, “a newly constructed assisted living facility in Austin, Texas, will be completed in the fall of 2023. The residents will have a bedroom suite as well as access to communal dining and shared amenities. Resident needs will vary—some may require physical assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and walking, while others may have memory impairments (e.g. Alzheimer’s, dementia) or medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, heart disease, depression) that may require additional monitoring and/or assistance.”
