Getting Around
Plan your Movement Network:
Think about how people will move around the building, including between floors
A Clear Path:
Make sure all access routes are wide, level, and unobstructed, to accommodate for all users and the occasional wheels
Intuitive Wayfinding:
Consider sightlines, and work with the user’s intuition
Signage:
Make information hierarchy clear
Changing Spaces:
Use visual indicators, not level changes, to mark spatial transitions
Don’t Hit a Bump:
Avoid small steps and ledges, use a ramp instead
