    Welcome to the first installment of our new Ed Talks series—dedicated to telling the stories of our PK-12 clients and how they're enriching students' education in their local communities. What happens when a high school is designed around real-world learning, student passion, and community input?

    How Buildings Can Affect Mental Health

    Mental health is one critical component of our overall wellness and ability to live a healthy and fulfilling life. According to the National Institute of Mental Health Disorders, 1 in 4 American adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year, and many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. From the hospital we’re born in, to the schools we attend, to the home we live in, the spaces we inhabit for most hours of the day affect our mental health. In this episode, principals from several of Treanor’s design studios take a deep dive into a few of these different building types and uncover how they can affect our mental health. In this episode, we hear from: Steve Carr, principal in our Health studioJeff Lane, principal in our Justice studioLearn more about the projects referenced throughout: Springfield PK-12 SchoolClear Creek County Health and Wellness CenterDouglas County Treatment and Recovery CenterTreanor is a national architecture, planning, and design firm located in the United States.

    How Counties are Improving Healthcare Accessibility in Rural Communities

    Healthcare is a critical part of our lives, and access to quality care can, in a worst-case scenario, be the differentiating factor between life and death. In the best-case scenario, quality and holistic healthcare keeps us out of the hospital and in the places and activities where we thrive. In rural communities, barriers such as access and connectivity can affect how and when patients receive care. TreanorHL had the opportunity to recently work with two clients on new rural healthcare facilities to help support their communities with the care they need. With two different geographies, communities, and needs, we wanted to discuss their insights into ways these new critical access healthcare facilities are helping support their patients. To discuss this topic, Treanor Health principals Curtis Hendershott and Mike Hagan join this episode, along with Dr. Timothy Ryan, the public and environmental health director of Clear Creek County in Idaho Springs, Colorado, and Dave Garnas, administrator at the North Central Kansas Medical Center in Concordia, Kansas.

    Responding to Disaster: How Architects Can Help Communities Rebuild

    As architects and designers, we’re often asked questions about creating new spaces and buildings or preserving hundred-year-old buildings. It’s less often that our role in rebuilding after disasters is discussed in classrooms and newspapers. But this is a critical role we can play to help families and businesses recover after their lives and livelihoods are upended. On this episode, we catch up with Pendleton's Country Market owners Karen and John Pendleton to discuss their experience recovering from an EF-4 tornado that ripped through their farm in Lawrence, Kansas, in May of 2019. Joy Coleman, principal and architect at Treanor, assisted the Pendletons with assessment and renovations after the tornado and joins this episode to talk more about the project. Architects have the opportunity to serve as emergency second responders by certifying as disaster assessment professionals through the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, which is the national standard for certifying architects, engineers, and code and safety professionals to provide assessment reports. Will Robarge, an associate principal and architect at Treanor, is one of just a few certified trainers through Cal OES, and he is currently serving his third term on the AIA National Disaster Assessment Committee, which is tasked with educating architects and engineers to be able to prepare and respond when a disaster occurs. Will joins us on this episode to share more information about these initiatives.

    Supporting Student Success Through Space Design

    We’ve all come to appreciate the physical places we use to socialize, learn, relax and ultimately go about our daily lives. For higher education students, the spaces they have access to can be critical to their education and growth as individuals. As design professionals, we wanted to talk about what these types of spaces are and how their design informs the intent, whether it be to tune in and socialize or tune out and study. In this episode, we invited higher education clients to discuss the various spaces that support student success on their campuses. Treanor principals Tim Reynolds and Nadia Zhiri are joined by Caroline Bennett, Professor, Associate Chair and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Kansas, and Matt Park, Associate Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students at Midwestern State University.

    The Long-Term Impact of a Pandemic on Higher Education Learning

Those following news surrounding the pandemic’s effect on higher education already know this shift is changing the operational and financial landscapes of many colleges and universities. But what does it mean for students? We wanted to know what it’s like being a participant in this learning shift, and what students really need and want moving forward.

    Controlling Cost in an Uncontrollable World

    In the construction industry, the cost of a building is more complex than simply adding up the sum of its parts. From labor rates to equipment prices and indirect costs, there are many factors affecting construction budgets. While your cost estimation might appear accurate at first, it’s crucial to understand cost control options so that you can respond to the unexpected and stay on budget. To learn more, we caught up with Joe Stramberg, a principal in Treanor’s Higher Education studio, and Blair Tennant, associate principal for Vermeulens cost consulting. Joe and Blair have worked together on various higher education facilities on campuses across the United States, and have presented on this topic at several national conferences, including Tradeline, ACUHO-I and more. On this episode, they talk about cost drivers, case studies and tools you can use to keep your facility on budget—without sacrificing design integrity or programming.
