When designing and planning for a new recreation center, it's easy to get caught up in form over function or focus solely on the guest experience. What would be helpful is to change your viewpoint to consider all users of the space to design the most efficient center possible. Join us as we lift the design blinders by putting yourself in the often-forgotten shoes of a recreation center custodian. Presenters will go room by room, completing a custodian's check-list to get an empathetic look at how design can positively impact every user!

Learning Objectives:

Identify easy changes to design that can benefit all staff members with a focus on custodians.
Gain a new perspective on designing or redesigning their recreation center(s).
Understand the intricacies of planning/designing for a recreation center.
