CONCLUSION
Hospitality and retail buildings have been the focus of a lot of design and planning efforts to make them safer and healthier both during and after the recent pandemic. Outdoor spaces have become more prized and made possible with modular, pedestal deck systems. HVAC systems have been upgraded using VRF technology coupled with high-performance ventilation. Durable, cleanable surfaces have become the norm for interior and exterior surfaces and trim. Security has been enhanced using updated designs for overhead doors and grilles. Altogether, these and other design strategies are helping architects to meet the challenges of a post-pandemic world.
