The Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access (IDeA Center) focuses on research, development, education, dissemination and design projects related to universal design. The IDeA Center is dedicated to enabling and empowering an increasingly diverse population by developing knowledge and tools that improve the human performance, health and wellness and social participation of groups who have been marginalized by traditional design practices. The IDeA Center’s activities are based on the philosophy of inclusive design, often called universal design or design for all.
