Name
POE Workshop: People, Outcomes, Experience
Date & Time
Wednesday, November 4, 2026, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Description
Post-occupancy evaluations (POEs) too often measure satisfaction instead of significance. This hands-on workshop invites participants to co-create an inclusive, evidence-based POE toolkit from the ground up. Together, we�ll identify what planning and design projects should truly support � comfort, safety, belonging, confidence, learning, and relationships�and connect those outcomes to design intent. Using research and shared resources, participants will develop metrics, map stakeholder roles, and outline an evaluation process spanning the full project lifecycle, from early goal-setting to post-occupancy reflection. Everyone leaves with a collaboratively built library of metrics, readings, and methods for measuring meaning.
