Some of the bears will be given to the Juvenile Sex Crimes Unit Investigators so that they can bring comfort to their young victims.
Please bring your new, 12”-14” size bears (or other cuddly animals) to the March 14th luncheon for collection.

Historically, there have been various ways to measure how an interior space “works.” The metric may be sq. ft./person or cost/sq. ft. Such determinants have a rightful place among the principles of design, but it is possible to reconcile economic necessities with design that’s intelligent, interesting and human-centered. This session outlines how the essential components of design intersect with the principle components of the WELL Building Standard to create spaces that promote psychological well-being…resulting in more engaged, inspired, and empowered workers that exhibit a higher level of creativity and innovation.
