Inclusive by Design: Who are we really designing our campuses for?
This event has now taken place.
A panel discussion from key stakeholders to discuss how universities, architects and manufacturers alike are adapting their campuses to evolve with inclusivity.
As part of KI Europe's two-day event, 'Inclusive Design for Everyone, Everywhere', hosted at its Clerkenwell showroom during London Design Festival, University Design Forum will host a panel discussion exploring how universities, architects, designers and manufacturers are rethinking learning environments to better reflect the needs of today's higher education communities.
As conversations around accessibility, wellbeing and neurodiversity continue to evolve, institutions are challenged to create spaces that are not only functional and inspiring, but genuinely inclusive.
Bringing together experts from across the built environment and higher education sectors, the panel will offer valuable insights into the strategies, innovations and challenges influencing the future of campus design, sharing practical perspectives on creating environments where everyone can thrive.
The morning will begin with breakfast and refreshments at the KI showroom from 8:30am, with the panel discussion starting at 9:00am, followed by an opportunity for networking, showroom tours and product demonstrations.
