SID IMPACT OF DESIGN SERIES
ASID believes that Design Impacts Lives and
strives to provide the design industry with
the knowledge and best practices it needs
to improve the human experience in the
built environment.
The ASID Impact of Design Series is dedicated
to highlighting projects that use evidence-based design to improve the quality of the
human experience. These select projects
have gone through pre- and post-occupancy
research to educate designers and clients
on the power of design.

PROJECT 1
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF INTERIOR
DESIGNERS HEADQUARTERS
(WASHINGTON, D.C.)
——
In May 2016, ASID moved to its new
headquarters in Washington, D.C. The primary
goal of the space is to improve the health,
wellness, and well-being of employees
in order to improve the organization’s
productivity, engagement, and retention.
PROJECT 2
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. SCHOOL
(CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS)
——
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. School
houses three schools on one campus. The
project was complicated by its small and
irregular site; the large and complex program
accommodating 840 children from preschool
to 8th grade; robust after school programs;
and an array of engaged stakeholders.
