Seniors Housing Design Awards Deadline Extended

The NAHB Seniors Housing Council has extended the deadline for entries in its 2004 Best of Seniors Housing Design Awards competition to Thursday, Nov. 13.

The awards program, now in its thirteenth year, recognizes architectural and interior designs that bring quality, innovation and spirit to the seniors housing industry.

The awards program is open to project owners, builders, developers, remodelers, operators, architects, land planners, interior designers and marketing/advertising firms that serve the growing 55+ market.

A panel of noted professionals in the seniors housing field — including builders, architects, designers and gerontologists — will judge entries and present gold and silver awards to current and “on-the-boards” projects in active adult housing, continuing care retirement, congregate care, assisted living, special needs and renovated seniors housing categories.

There are more than 66 awards categories in all, including expanded categories for seniors multifamily and aging-in-place design.

In addition to design, projects will be judged on how well they solve challenges such as those related to marketability, budget, difficult sites and diverse programs. 

The design awards also include separate categories for community center, common area, interior design, model merchandising and more.

Gold and silver awards are presented in each category.

Winners will be announced at an awards presentation and recognition luncheon at January's International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas. Award-winning projects will be exhibited prominently at the NAHB show, displayed on the NAHB Web site and featured in the NAHB Seniors Housing Council’s quarterly industry magazine, Seniors’ Housing News.
