Universal Design
• Design
• Adapted Design
• Accessible Design Standards– 1961 ANSI 117, 1968 ATBA, 1977 UFAS,
1988 FHA, 19 90 ADA, 2000 ICC
• Universal Design
• Design?
Universal Design is:• Market driven• A process not a goal• Minimizing incompatibilities between conditions of people
and their environment• About form and function• Incorporates awareness of all users needs• Comfortable & safe for widest possible range of potential
users• Inclusive• Requires the mindful creativity of the designer
Universal Design is not:• Compliance with minimum accessibility regulations• Adding on a ramp or accessible features• One size fits all
Models of Disability
• Medical Model– Based on diagnosis – Resides in the individual
• Social Model– Based on interaction between conditions of
people & conditions of the environment– Resides in the interaction
Which is more relevant for a designer?

Equitable Use
Welcoming to diverse groups; provides for equivalent if not identical participation and effort.
Consider characteristics such as height, weight, strength, vision, hearing gender, language and cultural/background of all potential users.
Entering The Front Door
Flexibility in Use
Adaptability of the spaces over time and uses.
Flexibility in control by the users in interacting with specific elements and functions
At home, work & Play
Simple and Intuitive Use
Provides consistent forms, locations, and cues for way finding, operation or interaction.
Understandable to the novice and efficient for experienced users with diverse experience, cultural backgrounds, languages and educational levels
Not all compliant solutions are good design
Perceptible Information
Communicate information effectively across the spectrum of ambient conditions (light, sound, activity) using a variety of modalities (tactile, visual, auditory, linguistic).
Where? What?
Tolerance for Error
Minimize hazards and the adverse consequences of unintended actions, variations in pace, or vigilance.
Provide warnings or fail safe features when needed.
Low Physical Effort
Efficient building systems.
Minimize user fatigue by reducing the need for sustained physical effort, allowing for neutral or ergonomic body positioning and reasonable operating forces.
Size & Space for Approach and Use
Appropriate space to approach and reach across the full range of user heights, sizes and relative position.
Appropriately sized elements to allow manipulation across a range of hand sizes, reach ranges and positions.
