2020 Project Scope
Dattner Architects and MBB collaborated with University Neighborhood Housing Program (UNHP) to create plans to update and reopen their main office in accordance with COVID-19 safety protocols.
2020 Goals and Outcomes
Safer Work Environment
Dattner Architects and MBB worked closely with UNHP to reconfigure their main office and accommodate a six-foot distance between employees. The team also provided guidance on how to reduce the amount of workstations in each room, implement a COVID-19 check-in station to control the flow of people in the space, and install plexiglass partitions and air purifiers.
Outdoor Gathering Space
For the Rose Hill Community Center, the team proposed a design for a cost-friendly outdoor module planter system suitable for social distancing that also serves as shaded cover.
