Inclusive design is evolving—beyond mobility and ramps—towards a holistic understanding of human diversity. Access Solutions for Inclusive Building Design equips professionals with the knowledge and tools to create environments that support a wide range of physical, sensory, cognitive, and cultural needs.

This course expands the concept of accessibility to embrace neurodiversity and sensory inclusion, offering practical design strategies for users with autism, visual or auditory impairments, and mobility challenges. Participants will gain a deep understanding of key regulations and standards including BS 8300, PAS 6463, and Approved Document M, and learn how to apply them meaningfully across design, circulation, lighting, and emergency planning.

Through the analysis of leading case studies such as Barclays Glasgow, learners will explore real-world applications of inclusive design in contemporary architecture. Topics include pre-arrival wayfinding, intuitive navigation, environmental adjustments, and supportive evacuation strategies—each focused on reducing exclusion and enhancing wellbeing.

This course is ideal for architects, designers, planners, and access consultants seeking to embed genuine inclusivity into their projects. Participants will leave with a richer understanding of how thoughtful, inclusive design not only meets compliance but transforms the built environment into a space for everyone.
