Neurodiversity, architecture, and universal design

Inclusive workspaces are created based on the concept of universal design, which ensures the configuration of an environment can be accessed, understood, and used to the greatest extent by all.

For someone to thrive in their career, having an accommodating and supportive workspace can fuel productivity and efficiency. For neurodivergent employees, it’s not only critical for their success–it’s the right thing to do.

In this 60-minute session, we’ll introduce Kay Sargent, Director of WorkPlace at HOK, and Rosa Colucci, National Color Educator at PPG, and explore what goes into designing and creating spaces that are inclusive for neurodivergent individuals. Some of the topics we’ll discuss include:

  • How to begin implementing universal design
  • What goes into reducing sensory stimulation
  • Addressing challenges in creating these workspaces
  • The competitive advantage of integrating this concept
