Remodel/Renovation

Environments for Aging is pleased to announce the winners and finalists of our 17th annual Remodel/Renovation Competition!

Submissions focused on single spaces, including dining areas, lounges, activity areas, lobbies, and other resident spaces.

A panel of experts (see below) reviewed all submissions and determined the winners of Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards, as well as four Finalists (top-scoring projects). Winners will receive special recognition at our annual Environments for Aging Conference + Expo (Spring 2026), and bonus coverage of their projects in the Fall 2025 issue of Environments for Aging.

All projects entered this year will be published in a Remodel/Renovation Gallery (Fall 2025 issue) with a quarter-page project description and accompanying photos, allowing readers the opportunity to view all the competition entries.
