LIVE WEBINAR COURSE
King County, Washington, was the “epicenter” of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. Learn how DLR Group partnered with the county to deliver nearly 1,000 quarantine, assessment, and recovery beds in various communities within a matter of weeks through rapid assessment, design, and construction methods. Lessons learned will equip designers and communities to better manage pandemic events in the future.
Learning objectives
- Describe the growth of COVID-19 in Washington to explain the needs for quarantine, assessment, and recovery beds as key to the rapid response King County developed for this specific population.
- Describe the approach used to identify and plan the COVID-19 AC/RC sites.

- Summarize lessons learned as DLR Group went through the planning and design of multiple sites.
