Safe and Inclusive Design
A student with autism finds the school's fluorescent lights and acoustic echo overwhelming. A student with mobility limitations encounters barriers throughout a building designed before accessibility standards. A transgender student navigates gendered washroom facilities that don't accommodate their identity. A student with anxiety finds no quiet space to decompress when overwhelmed. School buildings, designed for generic students who don't actually exist, often fail the diverse students who actually inhabit them.
