  • 1.  New CAE Resource and AIAU Course on Inclusive restrooms & locker rooms in K-12 schools

    Posted 15 days ago
    The CAE Leadership are excited to promote new resources pertaining to the design and use of Inclusive restrooms & locker rooms in K-12 schools. These new resources have been authored by Cheryl Jacobs, AIA, Greg Louviere, AIA, & Benjamin Fields, AIA.
    Changing access and supervision requirements are beginning to challenge the traditional norm of designing segregated, gender-specific restrooms and locker rooms for K-12 schools. Inclusive facilities, as described in this new AIA Best Practices document, offer a more humane and dignified approach to the traditional toileting and locker room experience. Inclusive restrooms and locker rooms are intended to provide an equitable experience for everyone, broader accessibility, more efficient use, enhanced supervision and organizational efficiency, and better student health outcomes.
    This new AIA Best Practice can be found on-line: Inclusive restrooms & locker rooms in K-12 schools 
    If you are interested in this new resource and want to learn more from the authors, please plan to attend a live AIAU Course tomorrow, Thursday, August 29th at Noon (eastern).  Course information and registration can be found on-line: Inclusive Restrooms & Locker Rooms in K-12 Schools
    If you are unable to attend Thursday, the course will be converted to on-demand and available in several weeks.

    The NYCSCA has a wealth of resources and design standards accessible to the public to help design NYC public schools.  Many of the Design Requirements define parameters for how to design safe lobbies with one control point, or clear corridor sight lines to avoid hidden corners...a valuable tool to design both public or private schools.

    They recently put out an RFQEI for a large amount of changes, one of which is CSI specifications update, another is planning standards updates, and more.

    Check them out on Instagram or Linked In for more information and connect.

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers,
    Mi Zhang, AIA Brooklyn
