Urban design for dementia
The Ring
You may have heard of care facilities designed specifically for people with dementia; they have features such as circular walkways, colour-coded areas that help people recognize where they are, or simple signs hung at eye level. But what if we started taking the needs of people with dementia into consideration when we designed a new park or a city street? These were questions Maria Przydatek explored as part of her masters thesis on dementia-friendly urban planning.

Freshman's Wharf Leo Nom
The Ring
The student-produced online comedic series Freshman's Wharf has been nominated in the "Web Series" category of the 12th annual Leo Awards. Originally created as a class project in the Department of Writing, Freshman's Wharf evolved into a for-credit directed studies course and 10 episodes were created, written, performed and shot by a mix of UVic students and faculty. Written by Rachel Warden, and mentored by film prof Maureen Bradley and digital media staffer Daniel Hogg, Freshman's Wharf offered a light-hearted look at first-year student life at UVic.
