Webinar: Universal Design Strategies for an Aging Population

Addressing public health issues and the natural process of aging through design can contribute to overall health promotion, avoidance of disease, and prevention of injury (Steinfeld and Maisel, 2012). An integral part of designing high-performance spaces for an aging population is incorporating health and wellness and Universal Design strategies into the built environment. Wellness-focused design strategies can help protect senior populations from a range of health issues and support overall wellbeing. Universal Design strategies help support changes in physical, visual, and potentially cognitive abilities due to the natural process of aging. The presenter will discuss design strategies that address health and wellness and Universal Design with a pointed focus on their benefit to the senior population.
