Architectural design for elders focus of forum

Health-care providers, researchers, designers, architects and older adults from around the country will gather May 8 at the Eric P. Newman Education Center to discuss “Physical Space and Aging: Spatial and Architectural Design for Elders.”

The daylong Friedman Conference, in honor of University benefactors Harvey A. and Dorismae Friedman, will focus on older adults and the environment, wayfinding, aging in place, using design and architecture in assisted-living settings or in-home settings, assistive technologies in daily living, and barriers among the aging to using technologies.

The conference is free and includes lunch.
