Professional Interior Designers are well versed in how to meet the Barrier-Free Design requirements that are outlined in the Building Code; but codes represent only a minimum level of compliance, in relation to individuals with primarily physical disabilities. The understanding of diversity – as it relates to culture, race, religion, age, gender and neurological development – has widened significantly in recent years.

In an era where diversity is valued and social justice initiatives are demanding inclusivity – what other elements should be considered to create the most inclusive space possible? What other organizations and documents are guiding the pursuit of the most welcoming public spaces possible? How can we as designers support these efforts and guide our clients in these efforts?

Our Fall sessions seek to bring together individuals and organizations at the leading edge who can share their diversity best practices.
