    The United States population is in transition in the 21st century. While there are more than 46 million older adults today, 77 million seniors are expected in a decade, which means that one in five Americans will be 65 years and over around 2030. The growth in life expectancy presents designers with an opportunity to solve for the lifestyle needs of this large cohort and support its members' health and well-being. ASID's national Committee on Adaptive Living (CoAL) has taken on this challenge and developed a range of adaptable living solutions with the objective to rethink the design of commercial senior living environments. Learn from CoAL experts as you explore the adaptive design method, how to identify best practices, and future innovations to consider.
