The fifth annual award was presented by the evaluation panel to BREI Masters student Arun Kaleelil Haridas for his dissertation proposal entitled “Future-proof critical care: Design of intensive care units of the future”.
The close association between Architects for Health and the Bartlett Real Estate Institute with generous support from the Noble family, was celebrated recently with the presentation of the 5th Ann Noble Research Award.
Dr Ann Noble was a prolific researcher, teacher, architect practitioner and Chair of Architects for Health for ten years, followed by her becoming Joint President together with Professor Ray Moss. Ann’s contribution to and leadership of Architects for Health through her energy and determination took the society to new heights: she corralled her wide range of contacts into events and debates as well as increasing membership and the influence and fortunes of the society.
Ann passed away a couple of years ago and the Ann Noble Research Award has been set up to celebrate her work and research interests. The award is made to a student taking the Bartlett Real Estates Institute Healthcare Facilities MSc and is specifically to be used for the furtherance of an MSc dissertation.
The BREI Master course is now in its fourth year. Three proposals were submitted from the current cohort studying MSc Healthcare Facilities and Architects for Health will be allocating mentors from among our professional members to support all 3 students as they develop their dissertations.
