UNIVERSITY-BASED RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES

Human by Design

We design for people. We design to enhance the human experience and leave a lasting and positive impact on people’s lives and the world we inhabit. It starts and ends with the human being; if everything is design, everything we do is Human by Design.

We believe design is both art and science, analysis combined with ingenuity. Truly creative and sustainable solutions are found when we question assumptions and challenge the status quo, building in the spaces where innovation meets the imagination.

Our practice is global; our work local. And so our size and diversity is our strength we collaborate seamlessly across borders, barriers, and disciplines to connect people and ideas. By listening well and building consensus, we deliver design solutions that exceed expectations.

The best and boldest work comes through true partnership with our clients as we collaborate to achieve their goals. Sometimes that means challenging ourselves, sometimes it requires

challenging them. It always means building trusted relationships that stand the test of time.

We design for a sustainable and resilient future. The bond between humans and nature is unbreakable, and we have an inherent responsibility to enhance the health and well-being of our people, our communities, and our planet. Embracing the patterns of nature, we strive to uncover the possibilities of design.

Taking our work from concept to reality lies at the heart of our practice there’s no greater reward than implementing a big idea. We deliver design solutions, always of the highest quality, with care and craft. We strive to deliver sustainability imaginatively. Whatever it takes, we deliver.

We are a diverse and complementary collection of thinkers, dreamers, and doers. We challenge ourselves, stretching each other and pushing boundaries together to create a collaborative organization an organism that lives, evolves, and belongs to us all.

Creative solutions built around the needs of people. We are thinkers, dreamers, and doers. We challenge ourselves, stretching each other and pushing boundaries together to create a collaborative organization that lives, evolves, and belongs to us all.

University-Based Retirement

What It Is

University-based retirement communities (UBRCs) are residential communities designed for older adults who are interested in continuing their lifelong learning and intellectual pursuits in a university environment. These communities are typically located on or near a university campus and offer a variety of educational, cultural, and social opportunities.

UBRCs typically offer a range of housing options, including apartments, cottages, and single-family homes, with amenities such as fitness centers, swimming pools, and on-site dining. Residents have access to a variety of educational programs and activities, such as lectures, seminars, and workshops, as well as cultural and social events, such as concerts, theater performances, and art exhibits.

In addition to providing a stimulating environment for learning and socializing, UBRCs often offer health and wellness programs, as well as access to healthcare services. They may also provide services such as transportation, housekeeping, and maintenance, to make life easier and more comfortable for their residents.

UBRCs are designed to provide a fulfilling and enriching retirement experience for older adults who are interested in continuing their education and pursuing their passions in a vibrant and engaging community. They offer a unique opportunity for older adults to remain active, intellectually engaged, and socially connected in their later years.

Considerations for Colleges and Universities

This model is mutually beneficial. “It’s one of these models that has, by design, mutual benefits on both sides,” said Lindsey Beagley, director of lifelong university engagement at Mirabella, the senior living community at Arizona State University. Mirabella, she said, “is not an afterthought to the core business of

the university, but it’s actually integral to the strategy of the university to evolve to meet education needs.”

(Higher Ed DIVE, April 10, 2023)

UNDERSTANDING THE MODEL

Andrew Carle, lead instructor for the senior living administration program at Georgetown University, believes there are a number of considerations that make a successful UBRC:

• Proximity to campus

• Connection to the college or university with about 10% of residents having some previous relationship

• Residents with a documented financial relationship with the university

• Formal university programming focused on lifelong learning

• Volunteer programs focused on intergenerational learning and exchanges

• Partnership with the right senior living owner/ operator to manage operations

• Knowing what the university has to offer potential residents

• Creating a partnership agreement at the onset of planning to avoid overwhelm when residents arrive

For example, our team is working with the Vincentian Sisters of Pittsburgh to create a welcoming, inclusive, and approachable personal care environment with innovative cross-generational programming to celebrate community, life and culture. VIncentian’s partnership with Chatham University offers discounted apartments for students who volunteer at the community. The building also shares a courtyard with University of Pittsburgh graduate student housing and the organization is exploring ways to engage students for cross-generational learning.

OUR UNIQUE APPROACH IDEAS Process

Perkins Eastman IDEAS is a proprietary process— Integrating Design, Economics and Assessment into Strategy that uses workshops to combine design, marketing, and financial feasibility to quickly create consensus around an organization’s strategy before significant investment.

Strategies

Perkins Eastman Strategies engages our clients in a collaborative process that links their goals and visions with a roadmap for present and future decision-making.

Research

Our researchers investigate the ways the built environment is experienced by people. Our NextGen staff create passion projects, using the firm’s scholarship program to take deeper dives into their ideas and explore the impact on design or create new designs. Our findings support the development of pioneering ideas by challenging assumptions and by testing ideas.

Convergence

Our senior living design teams collaborate with the other practice areas in our firm, including hospitality, healthcare, residential, mixed-use, and education. This convergence of practice areas allows us to challenge the limits of what is traditionally considered senior living, while testing innovation against our depth of experience designing for older adults.

Collaboration

Our process is structured around collaborating with our clients and collaborating with other professionals on the project, including contractors, engineers, project managers, financial advisors, fundraisers, and development managers. We have served in many roles on project teams, from consultant to design architect to executive architect. The planning phase of our engagements focuses on philosophical goals, explores alternatives, and builds consensus around a shared direction. We emphasize active participation, conscientious listening, and comprehensive documentation with our clients.

Sustainable Design

The building industry uses more energy than any other single sector, and we realize our tremendous obligation and opportunity to address this challenge. We are signatories of the American Institute of Architects 2030 Commitment, to which we report our entire annual portfolio, and we are developing new initiatives to improve the performance of all our work.

Interior Design

Across the firm, we have 25 interior designers focused on senior living. More than 90% of our projects include an integrated approach to architecture and interior design services, and our interior designers are involved from the beginning of the process to see that a cohesive design evolves.

Higher Education

Perkins Eastman is a global planning and design firm that has grown to include over 1,100 employees working out of a combined 24 interdisciplinary studios around the world. Our talented team of dreamers, thinkers, and doers, driven by our “Human by Design” ethos, promote a diverse design dialogue. Through these explorations, we develop thoughtful solutions to rise to today’s most pressing challenges. For all projects, we draw on our roster of design and thought leaders across our multiple areas of expertise. We promote a culture of collaboration, mentoring, and cross-pollination in pursuit of a common purpose: design must have a direct and positive impact on people’s lives.

EXPERIENCE ON MORE THAN 200 CAMPUSES

As leaders in higher education, we bring to each project a deep understanding of how institutions are responding to advances in pedagogy, technology, behavioral science, and market forces. Our multidisciplinary teams deliver the highest level of design backed by deep expertise, strong management, and a collaborative process. Our convergent approach in master planning, campus planning and programming, and building design has been built over the years in partnership with colleges and universities around the globe. Deploying best in practice trends and fresh thinking across building types and programs, our convergent solutions are always driven by our “Human by Design” ethos. Key to our approach is an iterative process of listening, sharing back, and ideation to reach that common vision with our clients — one that fulfills objectives, enhances broader campuses and communities, and resonates with students, faculty, and staff.

IN PURSUIT OF HIGH PERFORMANCE

As one of the world’s largest design firms, Perkins Eastman has a significant obligation and opportunity to have a positive impact on the built environment. When a building’s design is environmentally responsible, it becomes an asset to its users and an enduring legacy for the campus community. We take a holistic view of sustainability and performance, integrating social, economic, and environmental value all at once. We strive to achieve the best performance from buildings and the people that use them every day.

Architecture is a powerful platform for encouraging curiosity and discovery — in that spirit we craft academic environments that engage, empower, and delight.
