Inequities abound across virtually every element of our society. Here, we explore the links between the inequities of education and those of the workplace.

COVID-19 has ushered in IAQ’s 15 minutes of fame. People are looking to HVAC systems to help limit the spread of viruses. SHP turned to its mechanical engineering team to bust a few myths on the topic.

Since COVID-19 hit, it seems building owners, facility managers and even the general public have become more aware of how important mechanical systems are to the overall health of our buildings. SHP’s engineering team predicts a stronger emphasis on creating healthier indoor environments, indoor air quality & more sophisticated mechanical systems.

After looking at efficient focus and effective collaboration, we turn to experiential innovation and four design criteria that affect the highest, most aspirational human results.

Will the future of work and learning require less collaboration than we have previously designed into our workplaces and schools?

As the coronavirus drives students apart, one college devises a course to keep them together. This kind of disruptive, real-time addition to the course catalog is exactly the kind of innovation higher ed should embrace!

With the rapid switch to distance learning during the coronavirus crisis, some schools have struggled to serve students who are at the margins. It's one of the reasons Educational Visioning is so important: inclusive design principles offer a valuable way to reimagine educational spaces, not just during COVID-19, but well into the future.

COVID-19 is not only changing the nature of the work but also the nature of what work means to us and to our identities.

Community colleges have been seen as a distant second to four-year colleges, but for so many, two-year degrees represent an important path to a better life. Properly funded, they can make our workforce stronger and our society more just.
