The Chronicle of Higher Education: IDEA Center most prominent U.S. university-based center of its kind

An article in The Chronicle of Higher Education about the need for design to better accommodate the needs of people with disabilities quotes Edward Steinfeld, director of UB's Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access (IDEA Center), and reports that while few American schools of architecture teach design relating to disability or inclusiveness, UB has assigned six faculty members to teach a graduate concentration in universal design; the article calls UB's IDEA Center the most prominent American university-based center of its kind. Seinfeld's work in universal design also is the subject of an article in Chelsea Now and Gay City News about a state-of-the-art apartment specially designed to serve people with both visual impairments and developmental disabilities.
