Speaking Appearance: "Refurbishing Common Areas"

Lyn A. Berglund, ASID, CID was a speaker at last week’s 11th Annual Senior Cooperative Housing Conference held on May 11 and 12 at the Ramada Mall of America in Bloomington.

Well versed to speak on the topic “Refurbishing Common Areas,” Lyn cited example and past project, the 7500 York Senior Cooperative Renovation. In addition to speaking about the renovation of public areas, she also spoke about what to look for when selecting an interior designer. In doing so, she provided the audience questions to ask, and particular expertise to look for an order to ensure a successful project. The renovation of the public space at 7500 York was recognized in the national publication, DESIGN - Environments for Aging 2010 – A Special Supplement to Long-Term Living in the March 2010 Issue.

7500 York Cooperative was selected by a jury of highly accomplished long term care designers, architects and providers to be recognized in this National Publication in the “Seniors Only Housing/Apartment Complex” Category.

Here are two pictures of the the 7500 York project Lyn spoke about... see if you can guess which picture was taken before the renovation, and which is after.
