AIA Releases Strategies and Illustrations for Reducing Risk of COVID-19 in Schools
In an effort to support the health, safety and wellbeing of students, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) released 3D design models and strategies that can assist education officials with reopening schools during the pandemic.
For the 2020-21 school year, districts are facing the difficult task of determining if K-12 schools will reopen this fall. As part of the AIA’s initiative, “Reopening America: Strategies for Safer Buildings,” the AIA’s team—comprised of architects, public health experts, engineers, and facility managers—assessed hazards in K-12 schools and developed strategies to mitigate risk of COVID-19 transmission.
