This course explores how integrated door opening systems are redefining healthcare environments by addressing critical factors such as life safety, accessibility, infection control, acoustics, and long-term durability. Rather than viewing doors, hardware, and frames as separate components, participants will examine the performance advantages of a system-based approach that enhances circulation, reduces maintenance, and supports patient and staff outcomes. Through real-world applications and code-driven insights, this course provides architects and designers with the knowledge needed to specify openings that meet evolving healthcare demands while improving overall building performance.
