Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley, California, United States

March 31, 2011 Category: Education, Public Buildings

Designed by Leddy Maytum Stacy, Ed Roberts Campus is located in Berkeley, California, United States. When Roberts passed away in 1995, the CIL partnered with six other independent living and civil rights organisations to commemorate the international leader in disability rights with a stand-alone complex supplying services to the disabled.

Every element of the quality design work has been thoroughly considered to enable equal accessibility to users of all abilities. These include; 7ft wide corridors to facilitate wheelchair use; automatic doors; hands-free building system controls; large elevators with specialised controls for wheelchair users; easy-to-navigate wayfinding system aided by acoustical landmarks; high-contrast interior finishes; and coloured and textured flooring.
