Universal Design – What do I
mean?
Universal Design (Origins)
Universal Design is 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 – Ron
Mace, Architect
Universal Design for the built environment
UD Defined – variations on a theme
…[T]he practice of designing products or
environments that can be effectively and efficiently
used by people with a wide range of abilities
operating in a wide range of situations
(Vanderheiden, 1997, p. 2014).
…[B]uilding products that are robust and
accommodating. Universal designs take account of
differences in sight, hearing, mobility, speech, and
cognition. Universal design helps not only people
with disabilities, but also any of us when we’re
tired, busy, or juggling many tasks (Francik, 1996).
“Universal design implies a process that
goes beyond minimum access codes and
standards, to design environments that
are comfortably usable by people from
childhood into their oldest years.”
- Nasar & Evans-Cowley, eds. 2007. Universal
Design & Visitability.

What does Universal Design mean in the
context of today’s talk?
Campus & Faculty Conceptions of
Universal Design
“[F]ew postsecondary administrators, faculty, and staff
are even marginally acquainted with Universal Design or
Universal Instructional Design” (Higbee & Goff, eds.
2008)
Faculty at CU – may not have the definitive definition or
understanding of UD
Confusion on the distinction of “UD content”.
