As COVID-19 cases increase, healthcare organizations are converting hotels, convention centers, and city parks into new hospital spaces
According to an article on the Smithsonian website, architects are already talking about how modern hospital designs could change to avoid a repeat of the current situation.

HKS Architects has released concept studies for converting buildings into temporary hospital spaces in 14 days or fewer. The firm also organized an a webinar on conversions with representatives of hospital systems, hotel chains, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
