From an investment perspective, an aquaponic greenhouse represents a unique way to distinguish a property while adding tremendous value for a relatively small investment. Complete aquaponic greenhouses designed to meet local building codes can range from $50 to $100 per sf to build. Aqua- ponic greenhouses, when properly designed and managed, also can gener- ate revenue and profits from the sale of fish and plants along with the potential for supplemental income through agro- tourism.The greenhouses and aqua- ponic systems also are extremely scal- able and can be tailored to best fit exist- ing or new developments, construction budgets and production goals. For developers in the health care and senior housing industries, who are looking to create a lasting impact in their community, distin- guish their properties and create positive change for the environment, adding an aquaponic greenhouse is a win-win proposition. s Sawyer Continued from Page 15 past few decades.The tiered lecture halls with endless stairs in yesterday’s universities are being replaced by level-floor classrooms that have mov- able furniture, partitions and dry erase boards or digital screens for flexibility and easier collaboration in the learning environment. New spaces easily allow someone in a wheelchair to roll up next to someone in a traditional seat, and work together around the same workspace.This flexibility and usability makes the environment significantly more navigable by someone with physi- cal or mobility challenges, regardless of age. Furthermore, thoughtful housing options can foster integration, perhaps designing older adult housing adjacent to student housing on campus, with shared amenities between.This allows those of different ages to intermingle at their choosing and in different environ- ments, indoors and out. As another example, student hous- ing intended for specific areas of study, such as nursing or gerontology, can be attached to older adult housing so the students are interacting daily with resi- dents in a nonlearning environment. Designated spaces in older adult hous- ing design, such as exam rooms, can bring these groups into the same space without sacrificing privacy. This works especially well if common “everyday” spaces can be programmed to be both learning spaces and com- munity spaces. For example, the same space might be designed in a way that it can hold a knitting class at 3:00 and a beer tasting mixer at 4:00, with partici- pant overlap encouraged. Fostering Lifelong Learning The concept of learning new things throughout life applies across the ages. Many older adults seek a return to an educational setting to get a degree that interested them in life, in lieu of a degree they used to get a job. Univer- sities and colleges also are adapting classes and programs to teach while minimizing or eliminating homework and exams.This encourages older adults to truly immerse themselves in lifelong learning. Designing integrated, mixed-use buildings also could create learning opportunities, such as including a public library in a 55-plus community. Designing a college’s maker space near an older adult community could allow retired professionals to tutor students and impart trade or craft knowl- edge.Younger students might kindle renewed interest in seasoned profes- sionals by sharing and teaching about updates to technology.These interac- tions also may lead to older adults and young students working together on new products or technologies for aging populations. By shifting our own thinking as to which types of spaces belong to which age groups, we can begin to consider how to bridge generations in meaning- ful ways and with meaningful, inten- tional spaces. s Mohlenkamp Continued from Page 17 will have cognitive impairment (1.2 mil- lion people). For middle-income seniors age 85 and older, the prevalence of cog- nitive impairment nearly doubles. According to the study, the “middle market” for seniors housing and care in 2029 will be more racially diverse, have higher educational attainment and income, and smaller families to recruit as unpaid caregivers than seniors today. Over the next 10 years, growth in the number of women will outpace men, with women comprising 58% of seniors 75 years old or older in 2029, compared to 56% in 2014. “In only a decade, the number of middle-income seniors will double, and most will not have the savings needed to meet their housing and personal care needs,” said Caroline Pearson, senior vice president at NORC at the University of Chicago and one of the study’s lead authors. “Policymakers and the seniors housing community have a tremendous opportunity to develop solutions that benefit millions of middle-income people for years to come.” Seniors housing in the United States is paid out of pocket by seniors with sufficient assets. A relatively small percentage of Americans have long-term care insurance to defray the costs. For seniors with the lowest incomes, Medicaid covers housing only in the skilled-nursing setting, but increasingly also covers long-term services and supports in home and community-based settings. Programs such as low-income housing tax cred- its have helped finance housing for economically-disadvantaged seniors. “This research sets the stage for needed discussions about how the nation will care for seniors who don’t qualify for Medicaid but won’t be able to afford seniors housing,” said Brian Jurutka, NIC’s president and chief executive officer. “This discussion needs to include investors, care pro- viders, policymakers, and developers working together to create a viable middle market for seniors housing and care.” s News Continued from Page 10
