Abstract

Not every solution for addressing physical access on a campus is a success. Some are outstanding, and some… not so good. We need to be honest in our evaluation of existing, new, and renovated building on our campuses. This session will examine examples of physical accessibility at the Iowa and Iowa State campus. Participants will gain understanding of the underlying problems and potential solutions for change through best practice discussion and highlighting differing inclusive design strategies used by the two institutions.
