A few of our students this semester worked on an office design project. The links below connect to their project slideshows.
2016 Fall – Final Condo Design
Students completed the semester by designing and decorating a unit within their Greenville NC retirement condo building for a lesbian couple from Pittsburgh PA. In addition to incorporating Universal Design strategies for aging in place, students had to design using historical precedents. And each student created a narrative as part of their presentation of the design.

Below are links to students’ first and second portfolios for the semester: the program and preliminary design for the accessible senior living condo unit.
2015 Fall – Project Research
Once again this Fall, students are working on a senior living project. They have begun with research into how to make the spaces user-friendly for people at all levels of ability. Here is a link to the compilation of their research into both Universal Design and the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
