Save the Date: Stepping Thru Accessible Interiors as We Age

ASID LA Chapter presents the CEU Seminar Stepping Thru Accessible Interiors as We Age, led by Janis Kent, AIA CASp. The seminar will host a reception and book signing following the lecture.


This seminar covers an overview of accessible issues to consider in our normal environment, whether work, play, or home. Learn about items that can easily be included within our built environments now to not only allow us to age in place but to also allow others to visit us, whether they have issues concerning accessibility or aging.


This lecture will help you review architectural items from entries to doors to restrooms in terms of visit-ability, and become aware of hazards you should avoid in the built environment. Janis will also give an overview of the parameters for furniture, counters, and built-in items that assist in interiors as we age and will help her audience to understand signage, reach ranges, and clearances, and discuss their effect on our places of home and work.


This CEU course will take place Thursday, February 23, at 11 a.m. in the PDC's Blue Conference Center in Suite B259. The reception and book signing will follow at EuroConcepts Kitchen, Suite B124, sponsored by Sub-Zero/Wolf.
