SUMMARY:E11 &#8211\; From Campus to Community: Measuring Intergenerational Design in Senior Living
DESCRIPTION:Many senior living communities describe themselves as intergenerational\, but few can define how their physical environments actively support meaningful connections across age groups or evaluate the success of those efforts. Presenters will explore how intergenerational planning principles are translated into measurable design strategies and community outcomes.   Two organizations will share how they are fostering meaningful interactions through public-facing amenities\, wellness and educational programs\, workforce housing\, community partnerships\, and shared destinations. One community is building new environments that will not only enhance campus life but also address gaps in amenities and resources for the surrounding area. The other is combining new construction with adapting existing assets to partner with local organizations and community residents.  Both are removing barriers between campus life and the surrounding community.  Drawing inspiration from the assessment framework being developed by the SAGE Intergenerational Task Force\, presenters will explore how design decisions influence social engagement\, belonging\, and participation across generations. Attendees will learn practical strategies for assessing existing environments\, identifying barriers to connection\, and designing spaces that strengthen relationships between residents\, staff\, families\, and the broader community.  This session will demonstrate how communities of varying sizes\, locations\, and missions can leverage design to create more vibrant\, inclusive environments.
