Universal Design is the master design umbrella under which other design principles such as accessibility, adaptability, sustainability, and visitability allow for a wide of range choices in building and remodeling residential living environments. 

This variety of choices accommodates a multitude of needs and users from retirees, to traditional families, to newlyweds, to special needs, and beyond.

The UD Forum will address providing safe living environments for our retiring population that allows residents to remain in their homes safely and the ability to accommodate visits from their friends and families.

Examining the growth of new construction and remodeling, the changes in property values, and the diverse lifestyles trends of our community will expand everyone’s awareness. 

This will be of value to Realtors, Remodelers, Builders, Occupational and Physical Therapists, Organizations, and Industries serving the retirees and their families that want beautiful and “visitable” homelike environments.
