How do college students feel about going back to their off-campus apartments in the fall? What can be done about COVID-19 infection control in older buildings? What will tomorrow’s airports look like?
Those questions were addressed on “The Weekly,” the live streaming news and analysis program from Horizon TV, in its July 23 program.
Tune in for "The Weekly" at 1:00pm Eastern on Thursday, July 23: https://horizontv.bdcnetwork.com.
MOST COLLEGE STUDENTS WANT TO GO BACK TO CAMPUS
Mitch Dalton, Chief Design Director, Core Spaces, a major developer of off-campus student housing, will discuss the company’s recent survey of nearly 2,500 college students.
The overwhelming majority of the respondents—all Core Spaces tenants—said they wanted to go back to school in the fall.
Most said they would rather be studying in their off-campus apartments than at home even if all their courses were to be taught online.

“For this generation, which puts so much focus on the social actual experiential aspect of things—to take that away, it would strip out a lot of the value and growth experience that you get from college,” said Dalton, who will be interviewed by Robert Cassidy, Executive Editor, Building Design+Construction.
FIGHTING COVID-19 INFECTION IN BUILDINGS
Andrew B. Horning, LEEP AP BD+C, Bala Consulting Engineers, will be interviewed by Dave Barista, Editorial Director of Building Design+Construction, on the "new normal" of MEP design and infection control strategies in commercial and institutional buildings.
Horning, a Bala Vice President who leads the firm’s COVID-19 Task Force, will discuss concerns about controlling the spread of infection in older buildings, where outdated mechanical equipment might not be able to handle the enhance filtration that will be needed.

Horning will explore ways to adapt technologies from other fields, such as laboratories, including UV lighting disinfection and bipolar ionization, and why designers need to give more thought to building entrances and "touchless" environments—especially in elevators.
Efforts to maintain high levels of sustainability may suffer as a consequence of fighting coronavirus infection in buildings, according to Horning, because more energy will be required to make buildings healthier and safer buildings for people.
IMAGINING THE AIRPORT OF THE FUTURE
Geoffrey Ax, AIA, LEED AP, NCARB, DBIA, who leads the aviation practice at Populous, chats with John Caufield, Senior Editor, Building Design+Construction, aboutwhat the airport of the future might look like, how design will work hand in hand with technology and communications to give passengers confidence that the airport is healthy and safe.
Geoffrey Ax of Populous will discuss the airport of the future on "The Weekly."
