Beyond Code Minimums: Designing Accessible Kitchens & Bathrooms
Virtual
Join MAP and Disability Network Michigan for a free webinar unveiling practical design guidance born from real collaboration—people with disabilities and design professionals working together to solve accessibility challenges. Learn practical design standards that go beyond minimal code compliance—so you can recognize quality accessibility when you see it (or request it when you don't).
Who Should Attend:
- Architects, builders, and developers
- Planners and community development professionals
- Municipal officials who review plans
- Anyone invested in housing that serves people across their lifespan
What You'll Get: A reference guide with 8 prototypes (4 kitchens, 4 bathrooms) demonstrating how to build accessibility into any housing type from the start—going beyond minimal code requirements to create truly flexible, inclusive spaces.
Why It Matters: Planning for accessibility upfront costs less and saves time compared to retrofitting later. When accessibility is built in from the blueprint stage, everyone gains the freedom to age in place and adapt their homes as needs change. As a planner or official, you’ll be equipped to ask the right questions during plan review and steer your community toward housing that serves residents across their entire lifespan.
We're all aging. Let's design for that reality from day one.
