AIA EKC Building Tour-Don Ball Hope Center 

AIA East KY is pleased to offer our members an opportunity for continuing education (1 AIA LU) in conjunction with a tour of the Don Ball Hope Center.

In this program, Joey Nolasco, AIA of integrity/Architecture will guide attendees through the completed project and describe how this $7 million building provides comprehensive life-sustaining and rebuilding services to homeless an at-risk individuals. Learning objectives include:

• Discuss how architects can achieve well-designed, energy-efficient buildings within tight budget constraints and how they can integrate to an existing building campus.
• Discuss how building design might encourage interaction and foster relationships which help promote healthy and sustainable recovery.
• Discuss and observe podium construction and examine its impact on design of mixed-use occupancy, mixed construction types, and sprinkler requirements.
• Discuss how KHC financing and tax credits are leveraged along with private donations to fund low-income housing developments.

Additional Info:

Tenants will be occupying the building; however, they are accustomed to frequent visitors to the Hope Center Campus. We will tour at least one of the occupied apartments and all of the remainder of the facility.
