Lisa Thompson, Sustainability/Evidence Based Design project manager at BJC HealthCare will be the featured speaker at the March 8 meeting of the Missouri Gateway Chapter, U.S. Green Building Council. The meeting will be held at Alberici headquarters, 8800 Page Ave, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Cost is free for USGBC members and full time students, $20 for non-members. 

Her presentation delves into one of the latest trends in healthcare architecture; using research of the built environment to inform new designs and process improvements rather than depending only on intuitive design.  Evidence Based Design (EBD) has a broad potential scope of impact from which each organization and researcher selects what will be most beneficial to their goals.
