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”.
