Crossroads Lounge: Universal Design


Equitable Use -
The space is useful to people with diverse abilities, for example, a wheelchair. People with different abilities can access the work surfaces as well as pull into the lounge area. The tackable surfaces and shelves are also low enough (and high enough) for all different heights to reach.

Simple and Intuitive Use -
The layout of the space is simple and the circulation throughout the space helps to guide users throughout the lounge. The functions of each space are also easily understood because of the components that are visable.

Flexibility in Use -
The furnishings allow users the option of doing their task in several different ways, depending on their needs.

Low Physical Effort-
Multiple tasks can be done in this one room. These tasks can include designing, collaboration, critique, relaxation and many more in this multifunctional lounge.
