Flexibility, Accessibility, and Ergonomics in the Open Office Space

Flexible work scheduling, telework, virtual work, and the high cost of office space are some of the drivers of the 21st century workspace. This open, flexible, adaptable, and casual space must still serve not only the technological needs of its users, but also the accessibility needs of a diverse population. This course examines the technical requirements for providing accessibility, universal design, and ergonomics in an open office space and looks at a variety of solutions in the functional areas of the office: open office areas, the workspace, and collaboration areas.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Determine the difference between accessibility and universal design.
  • List the accessibility laws, codes, and standards as they apply to commercial office projects.
  • Describe data and power delivery options that meet accessible route requirements.
  • List equipment considerations at the desktop that meet ergonomics, reach range and operable parts requirements.
  • Describe accessible design requirements for collaboration areas and recall solutions for video and audio equipment.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
