Attend 'Designing for the Active Adult' and Hone Your Designs for the 55-plus Market

“Designing for the Active Adult,” the first course offered as part of the NAHB Seniors Housing Council’s Professional Development Series, will give industry professionals a better understanding of the active adult market and help them design homes and communities that better meet the needs of the active adult population. The course will provide attendees with an overview of the lifestyle, community, amenities and product design preferences that influence the various market segments within the 55-plus market.

The one-day course will be held at the Orange County Convention Center from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 12, at the 2005 International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, FL

Topics covered in the course will include:

Various design possibilities for active adult living
How active adult lifestyle can be enhanced by design features
Community design preferences for active adults
Amenities and common-area design elements that enhance active adult living
Product design components that are critical to meeting the needs of active adults
Universal design and aging in place

NAHB members will be able to earn continuing education credit toward their CAPS, CGA, CGB, CGR, GMB, MIRM and CMP designations.

Cost is $150 for Seniors Housing Council members, $175 for NAHB members, and $225 for non-members.

In addition to the session at IBS, “Designing for the Active Adult” has been scheduled for Sunday, May 15, just prior to Building for Boomers & Beyond: Seniors Housing Symposium 2005 in the Washington, DC metropolitan area (Chantilly, VA).
