This article includes examples of the impact of the covid 19 pandemic on design and construction of health care facilities and reinforces core strategies that have been shown to be effective in protecting patients, health care personnel, visitors, and others when in these facilities. It is critical that architects plan and design healthcare spaces that have a high degree of adaptability and ‘updatability’ to enable either temporary or permanent changes to occur with minimum disruption and cost. The guide’s seven principles for pandemic resilient health care design offer core considerations, providing a variety of solutions based on a facility’s unique situational needs: versatility. in addition to meeting pandemic needs, the design must work for everyday use and noninfectious patient care to be financially viable.

Large scale events such as covid 19 show that there are situations that can lead to huge stress on health infrastructure systems (his). the pandemic reveals that it is very difficult to protect his from all kinds of possible hazards. they can be. Public health surveillance programs and available infrastructures were shown as not consistently optimal (5 – 7). additionally, healthcare systems appeared unable to absorb and manage sudden and persistent pressures on their workload especially in the settings of acute care. As architects, engineers, and designers, we need to be mindful of the immense pressures that healthcare systems are facing after a year of dealing with the covid 19 pandemic. keeping facilities operational for routine patient care and protecting patients and staff while caring for covid 19 patients creates tremendous economic hurdles to overcome. While many health networks tried to implement ‘virtual visits’ in the past with limited success, covid 19 has forced both patients and caregivers to embrace it more strongly. the technology involved with this will continue to improve and should be more seamlessly integrated into our buildings.
