Jeff Day of Actual Architecture Co. and UNL College of Architecture and Jessica Scheuerman of Partners for Livable Omaha will deliver a keynote lecture “OurStory: creating aging-ready housing” at the 2025 AIA Nebraska Mid-Year Symposium. The talk is scheduled for Thursday, April 24, 10:30 am at the Younes Conference Center North, 07 Talmadge St, Kearney, Nebraska. Visit https://ow.ly/aS8V50Vazj3 for details and registration.

The talk responds to the question, “how do we want to live as we age?” with OurStory, a prototype middle-income, aging-ready small home for Omaha that approaches affordability at the intersection of design, finance, and policy. Designed by FACT and led by Partners for Livable Omaha, OurStory fills a gap in the local market for small house and ADU designs that are versatile, quicker to construct, energy-efficient, climate-resilient, environmentally responsible, maintenance-free, and empowering.
