What You Don’t See Can Hurt You: Rethinking Water in Design
We spend so much time talking about how buildings look and function. But what about what’s happening behind the walls? Host Caroline Schillaci sits down with Missy Cain, Environmental Planning Principal at HGA, to dive into the often overlooked systems that quietly shape building health, with a focus on water management and its real-world consequences. From adaptive reuse to healthcare environments, we explore how early decisions can either prevent risk or create it and why collaboration across design and engineering has never mattered more. Because when it comes to building performance, what you don’t see is often what matters most.
