International workshop on resilient hospital design

Fully-functioning hospitals shall be the backbone of a society. The outbreak of COVID-19 has shown that "nobody is safe until everyone is safe". To address this global challenge that can only be achieved together in the spirit of cooperation, university researchers, engineers, architects, epidemiologists and healthcare bodies are invited to this online workshop to discuss the governing factors affecting nosocomial infections and new perspectives to develop more resilient healthcare infrastructures. Speakers from across the industry and academia will share research findings and the good practice including the future-proofing design approaches. This research workshop is FREE to attend but you need to register via the Eventbrite link (or scan the QR code).

 

For enquiries, please email Dr Kangkang Tang (kangkang.tang@brunel.ac.uk). This workshop is sponsored by the ICE Research and Development Enabling Fund and supported by the Ã÷ÐÇ°ËØÔ Resource Efficient Future Cities (REFC) Research Centre and Institute of Healthcare Facilities of the Architectural Society of China.
