While still in development, the prototype of this pandemic-specific tent highlights the collaborative processes designers, engineers and builders pursue while engaging their science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills to advance emergency healthcare facilities such as COVID-19. Most tents used for COVID-19 testing were designed for weddings and other special events. As the pandemic spread and the need for massive vaccinations loomed large, we asked ourselves if we could create a special tent custom-designed and tailored specifically for viral testing and administration of vaccines during a pandemic. Working with builders, fabricators and engineers, a team of designers developed a new prototype for such a tent, one that has better ventilation and is easier to clean, quicker to install and more structurally stable than the general-purpose tents commonly used for pandemics. You are invited to learn about our current design for this pandemic-specific tent and to offer questions and suggestions that can help improve its performance.
This presentation features representatives from an architecture firm, an energy-oriented consulting engineering firm, a construction corporation, a live + digital brand experience agency, and a multi-disciplinary acoustics, audiovisual, and vibration consulting firm all based in Massachusetts.
