This webinar is part of the ADA Academy

This webinar will look at inclusive design solutions for accessible campuses and classrooms, and will feature architecture and design strategies that go beyond legal requirements to ensure an optimized learning environment for students of all abilities. The presentations will illustrate the role architects have in the important work of allowing students (and teachers) to thrive within a comfortable, safe, and supportive space. The course will discuss the concept of universal design, which allows both able and non-able persons to have comparable experiences within a building. Some of the topic areas that may be covered within the framework of accessibility are equal access within classrooms, ADA-compliant door and wall configurations, architectural signage, window treatments, washroom systems, privacy systems, and elevator interiors.
