“David is truly a joy to work with! He has an excitement for life that is contagious and helpful in his current position. I am a multi line product sales rep for A&D products and had featured a few of them at the resource center at various times. He was always very helpful and knowledgeable about various opportunities available to me. The resource center is a terrific place with lots of buzz, so I would recommend David and the AIA RESOURCE CENTER highly! Thank you for everything David!”

David Charles runs The Resource Center (TRC) for the AIA St. Louis Chapter, a collaborative space for designers and product representatives to discuss projects and gather resources. One of TRC’s most recent education sessions covered “Aging in Place,” the idea that a space can be designed to adapt with its occupants as they age to provide a safe and comfortable environment regardless of age or ability. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case for many people’s homes and they have to downsize or move into an age-friendly environment. Other topics covered in this most recent episode of Build Green, Live Green include transitioning back to doing business in person, no matter how exhausting or invigorating, and how groups like TRC can continually support the A&D community as roles and workflows are altered to fit the times.
