Workshop # 2
Equality of Access in Campus Environments: Weaving a new Philosophy
into Campus Planning
Presenter: L. Scott Lissner, ADA Coordinator, The Ohio State
University; Affiliated Faculty of the John Glenn School of Public
Affairs; Adjunct Instructor Knowlton School of Architecture & Moritz
College of Law .
For years, college campuses have taken up the charge to meet
accessibility requirements under disability law. Today the call is to
ensure that all environments - information, programmatic, attitudinal
and physical - anticipate the needs of an increasingly diverse campus
population. This essential training will help you move from a code
compliance approach to isolated construction projects toward a universal
design approach integrated into institutional planning. The principles
of universal design provide a platform from which to address the demands
placed on campus infrastructure by changing technology, sustainability
and diversity initiatives while providing a bridge to strategic and
instructional planning that can be anchored to institutional mission and
core values.
Attendees will be provided with:
Models, tools and strategies for a cohesive institutional approach to
developing and maintaining an inclusive environment.
Opportunities to discuss local campus concerns.
Extensive reference materials including copies of enforceable standards,
check lists, and training materials for use on campus.
And will gain:
* Fluency with the range, interrelationships and coverage of the key
standards for access.
* Familiarity with the components of internal and external compliance
audits.
* The ability to identify the most common facilities compliance
failures.
* Knowledge to relate universal design principles to sustainability,
diversity and institutional mission and values.
* The understanding of universal design as a process and its potential
use as a planning tool.
* Knowledge to apply the model developed for facilities access to other
campus infrastructures (instructional planning, technology,
co-curriculum, policy).
