Retrofitting College Buildings for Accessibility

from Facilities in Focus Hosted by FacilitiesNet

Accessibility on college campuses goes far beyond code compliance, it’s about dignity, independence and creating a true sense of belonging. In this episode of Facilities in Focus, host Mackenna Moralez talks with Lawrence Group leaders Mike Flynn and Javier Esteban about the art and complexity of retrofitting for accessibility. With examples ranging from residence halls to libraries, they explain how facilities leaders can design spaces that serve students of every ability—today and in the future. “Accessibility cannot be an afterthought. It has to be part of the process,” Javier says. The Facilities in Focus podcast publishes bi-weekly. The third season will cover education facilities.
