Green Guide for Healthcare Presents Designing the Regenerative Hospital: An Imperative for the 21st Century

Monday, May 18, 2009

2:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Can we transform today's healing environments into living or 'regenerative' buildings? Can we move from 'doing less harm' to 'restoring what has been lost'? Can we heal the earth as we heal ourselves? How will we bring this future into being? These are some of the questions framing the development of the next generation of the Green Guide for Health Care. Workshop participants will help to shape a strategic vision of the 21st century hospital as a “regenerative building.”  Using the framework of Regenerative Design defined by the GGHC steering committee as a starting point, the workshop will postulate how hospital design can be re-imagined to meet this emerging imperative. Workshop participants will explore scenarios for several key elements of regenerative buildings. The findings will be conveyed to the developers of the next generation Green Guide. Creative thought leaders, prepared to envision the hospital of the future, are urged to sign up for this workshop.
