The Academy Journal, published by the AAH Knowledge Community, includes articles that support the enhancement of the built environment for health care.
As the official publication of the Academy, the Journal published articles of particular interest to AIA members and the public involved in the fields of health care architecture, planning, design, research, and construction. The goal was always to expand and promote awareness, educational exchange, and advancement of the overall project delivery process, building products, and medical progress that affects all involved in those fields.
Articles were submitted to, and reviewed by, an experienced, nationally diverse editorial review committee (ERC) of medical and architectural professionals. Over the years, the committee reviewed hundreds of submissions, responded to writers’ inquiries, and encouraged and assisted writers in achieving publication.
In its 25-year history, the Journal provided valuable opportunities for new and seasoned authors from the architecture and health care professions including architects, physicians, nurses, other health care providers, academics, research scientists, and students from the US and foreign countries.
Published articles have explored a broad range of medical topics and research trends. Some topics addressed in the past include the future of health care architecture, cardiac care, future and evolving technology, patient rooms and patient safety, lighting design for health care, psychology, workplace design, cancer care environments, emergency care, women’s and children’s care, and various health care project delivery methods.
