Universal design is intended to go above and beyond established accessibility standards. The National Park Service, for instance, defines Universal Design as “the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.” Each project type, be it historic preservation, renovation or new facility design presents unique challenges in providing accessibility to meet governing standards and universal design. Through creative and thoughtful design The LA Group designers and accessibility experts are able to apply the appropriate accessibility standards, including consideration of universal design for various project types to meet each project’s unique goals and challenges. The LA Group is deeply experienced in the application of ABA, ADA and Universal Design standards and principles.
