as advances in technology, medicine and health services have increased over the years, so has the average life expectancy. this increase in life expectancy, along with the steady growth in the american population, has led to exponential growth in people reaching the age of 65 and this number will only continue growing.

social interaction is not the only reason to move into a ccrc.
the current recession has reduced current home values and hurt
existing retirement savings. cost is now a major factor in choosing where to retire.
a new retirement facility must not only meet the quantity and quality of the baby boomers,
but it must also provide some form of affordability.

why a highrise? not only is a highrise a suitable option for an urban setting,
but additional advantages also lie in creating a continuing care retirement community in highrise form
24
SOURCE: why the “high-rise� concept might be the answer
the urban highrise model is possibly the perfect ccrc
• distances traveled by residents to all amenities, entertainment, and retail are dramatically reduced as are distances traveled to socialize with other residents.
• less land usage
• lower material consumption
• lower and more efficient energy consumption
case statement
according to shekhar bhushan, aia:
• lower operational staff needs because of reduced walking distances and reduced kitchen staff with a combined, central kitchen
• fewer cars result in lower parking requirements, which can be further supplemented by the use of common-use cars.
• strategic urban locations allow convenient access to entertainment, restaurants, and social events. • an urban setting provides access to parks and other green space, while providing safety in an easily monitored environment. SOURCE: WHY THE “HIGH-RISE” CONCEPT MIGHT BE THE ANSWER
25
why a ccrc & HOTEL COMBINATION? a ccrc
& hotel combination
has never been created before. services and ammenities that are commonly provided by a hotel are also services and ammenities that would work perfectly with a continuing care retirement community.

the addition of a hotel would also provide an additional source of revenue for the development,

allowing less costs on the ccrc’s end.

growth in u.s. population
projected acceleration of population aging since 1970, the baby boomer generation has consistently been the largest population every decade. as seen in the chart, after
2011 when the first baby boomers turn 65, the make-up of the u.s. population will steadily
increae to retired persons. this is also due to the fact that life expectancy is growing. as
of 2010, only 10% of chicago’s population was
past the retirement age of 65, while the baby
boomer generation (those 45 to 64 as of 2010)
consisted of over 21% of chicago’s population
(about 630,000

people).

existing facilities can be found throughout the city of chicago, a large and diverse generation of retirees are on the horizon and these facilities will quickly feel
outdated. not only will this group live longer than preceding generations, they
will live differently. the current approach to retirement living is often focused
on simply meeting the basic needs of the retiree, but this new model of retirement living will focus on providing a quality of life that the baby boomer generation is accustomed to.
this generation will be the largest percentage of retirees during the next twenty years with over 10,000 americans approaching retirement age each day, and the
physical demand for more retirement living is finding current facilities inadequate. the baby boomers are worried about quantity of retirement facilities, but even
more important to them is quality since their lifestyles, wants and needs are unlike any generation before them. baby boomers do not accept that they are old, and
seek lifestyles to keep them feeling young. the large population of baby boomers are more educated, active, health-conscious, engaging, technologically savvy, philanthropic, affluent, diverse, and extremely social than their parents.
this culture of social retiree is searching for retirement communities in which to
case statement
the current model of retirement living is in need of restructuring. while new and
live out their golden years, and they will seek out stimulating environments that
address new options in lifestyle and new trends in design that did not exist before. currently there are no hotel and ccrc mixed buildings in the world, but the
lifestyle of the baby boomer challenges this precedent. the baby boomers’ thirst for social and multi-generational interaction leads this new model of retirement living to incorporate a hotel to provide more options in amenities and more
diversity in age groups. the hotel also allows this social group to have visiting friends and family stay close and personal.
being located in an urban environment is more important than ever since a majority
of retirement communities exist in suburban and rural locations. over the past few years, more people and jobs are moving back to the city than ever before.
by focusing on interaction, lifestyle and societal needs, the new continuing care retirement community and hotel tower will develop a sustaining and adaptable
model of retirement. through well-designed units, connections to transportation, provisions for continuing care, social gathering spaces, hotel functions and
multiple amenities and public spaces, the new development will be able to provide an option for chicagoans to age in place and live their retirement years in one of the greatest cities in the world.

the baby boomers are unlike the generations of retirees before them. baby
boomers are expected to live longer, are more affluent, are more health
conscious and active, are more technologically advanced, expect more choices in amenities, plan to travel, plan to work past retirement, want
chances to volunteer, and are much more socially connected than the current retiree.
the baby boomers are the ones that will live in the new retirement community high rise and utilize its amenities and contribute to its success. the baby boomer
generation consists of a large age range. the early baby boomers will be at age
83 when the last baby boomer reaches the age of 65.
It is therefore important to
note the differences between a multitude of age ranges when designing for this

MUST HAVES OF THE NEW CCRC AND HOTEL TOWER: after researching the lifestyle of the baby boomer and comparing their wants and needs to the previous generations’, many ideas have come to light.
- proximity to multiple modes of transportation because as people age, their want, need and ability to drive are less and less. - the transportation that should exist in the program are: - bike storage and rental - electric car hook-ups because baby boomers want sustainability - water taxi connection - possible marina - close proximity to cta - bus and L - ample parking for those that do drive and hotel residents - ease of pedestrian circulation medical staff medical staff
future retiree medical staff
retiree future retiree - based on precedent research , we seefuture that new trends in ccrc design include business centers and multi-media centers. these must be included in the program, and due to the fact that almost all baby boomers are technologically savvy, it can be assumed that they will have their own personal computers, laptops and medical staff future retiree printers. therefore, the multi-media center does not need to be much bigger than previous models. medical staff future retiree - the business center should be larger than precedent research shows because, unlike previous generations, 74% of baby boomers plan to work visitor retiree family hotel developer business community hotel guest family the retirement hotel age retiree past of 65.visitor developer staff visitor business community retiree hotel guest family hotel

- diversity is a must, not just in race and gender, but specifically in backgrounds and age. - the hotel will allow for multiple ages to be together in the same building - the fact that people are living longer than ever before will provide a visitor retiree diverse range of ages in the ccrc as well. visitor retiree family hotel developer business community hotel guest staff create diversity in age - visiting family will also - multiple options in condo sizes, as well as a location that is currently underdeveloped, will allow for a More Affordable building for multiple incomes and backgrounds. - there are more working females than ever before, so the new generation future retiree of retiree will have a diverse group of working backgrounds and genders.

PROGRAM the program of the new ccrc and hotel tower was created utilizing the extensive program analysis of the clare at water tower and comparing it to the other ccrc research to find an ideal size for spaces as well as determining which amenities should be
provided. amenities and other program requirements were created with the new ideas of the baby boomer in mind. these
elements can be found in the response to research and goals portion of this book.
hotel program information was created based on “time saver standards� and the program of amenities was based on which ones could and could not be shared with the ccrc.

areas can replace a living unit on the given floor a break-down of all program elements are listed above and on the opposite page. additional program elements

ORGANIZATION OF PROGRAM the program is organized based on connections, adjacencies, and shared spaces.
being a highrise tower, the programs are based on circulation through the core. the ccrc core is accessible through the ccrc lobby and the hotel core is connected
through its lobby. both lobbies are accessible through the parking garage or
from the street. the ccrc lobby can use key access to enter into the hotel lobby, but
the hotel cannot enter the ccrc lobby. this allows for residents of the ccrc to share hotel amenities, while keeping the ccrc amenities private to the residents.
the pharmacy / market is able to be accessed from the street by the public, and can be privately entered through key access through the ccrc lobby.
spaces where the bubbles overlap in the diagram represent functions that can exist on the same floors in the ccrc. other amenities can be shared on multiple floors as well, but this is not shown in the diagram.
the skilled care and memory support program is designed to keep occupants (patients)
from leaving the floor through the core. this secure connection allows ccrc and medical staff to come and go with key access. visitors must wear badges and use a key pad to access the elevator.
individual hotel units are staggered throughout the ccrc floors, allowing visiting friends and families to be able to stay close to their loved ones. these are managed by the hotel.
