✨ Meet the Board!✨

As we welcome our new board, we’re also reflecting on what a great year we had! We’re so grateful to everyone who showed up, attended our events, connected with our chapter, and helped make this past year so special.

We want to give a special thank you to those who are stepping away from their past board positions. Thank you Joanna Pitman for your incredible guidance and support this past year, Caroline Alexander for your leadership and continued guidance, and Hannah Jones for your hard work and dedication to our chapter.

And of course, A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors for your continued support and for helping us bring our events and initiatives to life. Your support means so much to our chapter and our design community.

We’re excited for another year of connection, creativity, and growth, and we can’t wait to see what’s ahead. Thank you for your continued support of IIDA VAWV we’re so glad you’re along for the journey!

Healthcare design is complex, technical and challe

Healthcare design is complex, technical and challenging. It is also fascinating,
human-centered, research-based and ever-changing. Hospitals are buildings with
multiple needs and uses, where the opportunities to enhance the user experience
through holistic design are endless. As members of an industry that actively uses
research to improve guidelines, designers are continuously challenged to excel and
innovate not only on their final product, but also through their process. So, what does
the concept of “Holistic Healthcare Design” really mean?

Join us at our next Scholar Series where Diana Araoz-Fraser and Emily Dickinson will discuss this topic and give us a clearer insight to healthcare design!

Every second, the brain filters millions of sensor

Every second, the brain filters millions of sensory inputs, shaping how we think, feel, and perform. For many neurodivergent individuals, poorly designed environments can create sensory overload, leading to stress, fatigue, and exclusion. This session explores the intersection of Neuroinclusion and Neuroaesthetics, examining how sound, lighting, thermal comfort, and spatial design influence human experience. Attendees will gain practical strategies for creating environments that support neurological diversity, enhance well-being, and transform spaces into intuitive, inclusive places where everyone can thrive.

For the first 15 Members to register for this event, you will receive a copy of Kay Sargent’s Book - Designing Neuroinclusive Workplaces: Advancing Sensory Processing and Cognitive Well-Being in the Built Environment. A limited number of additional copies will be available for purchase at the event.

Register today via Eventbrite! Space is limited, be sure to get your tickets early. Link in bio

📚A summer evening well spent!📚

Our latest IIDA Virginia/West Virginia Scholar Series: Summer Book Club brought designers and industry professionals together for an inspiring conversation around Work for What’s Next by Amanda Schneider.
From Richmond to Virginia Beach to Roanoke, our community showed up both in person and virtually to connect, share ideas, and explore what’s next for the workplace and our industry.

A huge thank you to @moi_inc_ for hosting us at all three locations and creating welcoming spaces for us to connect and learn together. We’re also grateful to @momentumco__ and @interface for helping make the evening possible, and to Amanda Schneider for sharing her insights with us during our Q&A!

Here’s to great conversations, and a community that keeps us moving forward. 📖✨
