Conference Presentations

This session will show how to implement a unified approach to inclusive design within high-performing sustainable buildings by incorporating intentional design solutions that account for diverse human conditions and experiences. Using real-world examples and best practices, we'll explore how to improve wellbeing and accessibility for those with disabilities through inclusive principles of providing generous space, equitable experiences, clear path, and individual empowerment. Come learn how you can design inclusive spaces for all by evaluating and integrating many of our guidebook's 37 strategies in your future projects prior to the programming and conceptual phases.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Become empowered to convene and facilitate dialogue with a broad range of voices in the disability community to determine strategies for creating a more inclusive, accessible environment.
2. Describe the challenges and barriers that those with disabilities encounter and recognize the impacts those challenges can have on health and wellbeing.
3. List specific design strategies that align with multiple building certification programs, such as LEED and WELL, to create more equitable and inclusive environments for those with disabilities.
4. Apply inclusive design principles across a campus to reinforce a gracious sense of belonging.
