PEOPLE  /  PLACES  /  POSSIBILITIES
Minutes away from downtown Akron is Heather Knoll Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. We refreshed this aging nursing home with the addition of a new 24-bed short term rehabilitation unit. The main entry porte-cochere was replaced and the entire front façade was refaced. 
The new rehab unit was designed using a hospitality lodge theme, including a fireplace room, sports bar and a covered porch. The secure landscape courtyard even includes a putting green!

BUILDING THE 21st CENTURY CITY
This past month, the Cleveland chapter of the Urban Land Institute and the city of Cleveland’s Planning Commission hosted Building the 21st Century City: Best Practices in Zoning at the Global Center for Health Innovation.  Margaret Kavourias, AICP and Greg Soltis, AICP from RDL's planning studio attended the daylong event along with hundreds of other planners, architects, urban designers, lawyers, and government officials. The purpose of the conference was to begin a dialogue about the city of Cleveland’s zoning code which has not been rewritten since it was established in 1929.
UPCOMING CONFERENCES
We’re excited to close out our conference season at the 17th Annual Ohio Housing Conference from December 1-3 in Columbus, Ohio. 
We look forward to continuing to build relationships with those who are as passionate about shaping the future of the affordable housing industry as we are! We’ll be in Booth 511 and hope to see you there!
Additionally, two of our principals will be at Centerbuild, the Premier Retail Design and Construction Conference, from Dec. 1-4 in Phoenix. David Parrish will facilitate a roundtable and lead the discussion on the difference between providing “complete drawing deliverables” vs “deliverables of complete drawings.”
