Double the cool!
Both our People and Lifetime of Changing Needs images have gone global representing #UniversalDesign.

Pass it on!

ALT The people image shows outlines of people with different types of disabilities. From left to right the characters are being pushed in a wheelchair, have a broken or amputated leg, use a white cane, have a guide dog, and propelling themselves forward in a wheelchair.

ALT Our lifetime of changing needs and abilities image shows people at various parts of their life from infanthiod to older age. From left to right the icons show a female from a crawling infant through childhood, adolescence, with temporary and/or invisible disabilities, adulthood, pregnancy, with a stroller, with a briefcase, a cane, a walker and a wheelchair.
As #accessibility is not optional for design of your new buildings or renovations, the best investment is to futureproof with beyond building code minimums to welcome as many people as possible & avoid very expensive & difficult renovations later
