Universal Accessibility

It goes without saying that all buildings and sites must be fully accessible to persons with disabilities.

We believe that most aspects of universal access lead to buildings that are safer and more usable for all of us. Universal access makes buildings better for a wide range of people with mobility constraints, including those who have been injured, are ill, pregnant, older and children.
