WHAT'S UNIVERSAL DESIGN?
Universal Design, in a nutshell, means designing an environment that is universally ideal for everyone (as opposed to just certain individuals, such as those with disabilities).
Examples of universal design solutions that benefit everyone include:
- elevators
- sliding glass doors
- curb cuts where sidewalks abut intersections
- closed captioning on video screens (especially in places like restaurants or airports).
As a college, the more we know about and implement Universal Design in all aspect of campus, the better we'll be addressing the needs of every member of our community.
