This year the program announced a new award, the Adaptive Reuse Award, which recognizes the creative reuse of an existing space or structure originally used for another purpose. Entrants shared their challenges, compromises, goals, key improvements and how if elements of the existing space were maintained. "The inclusion of this award reflects the scope of work that we are seeing our attendees focus on at Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo," said Jenabeth Ferguson, VP, Symposium Director.
