\"U.S.<\/p>\n

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and Challenge.Gov<\/a> have launched Access for All<\/em><\/a>, a student design competition for barrier-free spaces in federal buildings. GSA invites students in architecture and design programs to apply universal design ideas to reimagine a federal workspace that provides an accessible, barrier-free, and all-inclusive experience. <\/p>\n

Federal facilities are required to comply with the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Standards.<\/a> The standards provide minimum scoping and technical requirements for accessibility to sites, facilities, buildings, and elements by individuals with disabilities. The Access for All<\/em> competition aims to find innovative solutions to reduce barriers so that all people with disabilities have access to federal buildings and facilities. <\/p>\n

Applications for the competition are due by May 1, 2023 <\/strong>via GSA\u2019s “ACCESS FOR ALL” Universal Design in Federal Facilities webpage<\/a>.
