Senior living facilities and nursing homes have become a critical vector during the COVID-19 pandemic and have contributed to a large number of deaths from the disease, both within the United States and around the world.

This typology, along with shopping malls, offices, schools, airports, restaurants and others, are among the many types of everyday buildings that will need to be reconsidered from a design perspective in the aftermath of the pandemic.

To discuss potential coming changes for the senior and assisted living building types, Archinect connected with Michael Liu, Vice President and Principal, and Anthony Vivirito, Senior Project Manager, at Boston-based The Architectural Team (TAT) to discuss the potential futures of these facilities. The pair discuss designing new approaches for shared living and family visitation spaces, as well as adaptations being made to existing buildings, and new horizons for senior living buildings in a variety of arenas.
