Inclusive access tool

A free guide to inclusive access for sustainable buildings

This interactive tool is the latest product to emerge from CEM’s involvement in inclusive access research, which has been on-going since 2004. Developed in conjunction with The Vassall Centre Trust, Bristol and funded by the Ove Arup Foundation, it is designed to provide practical guidance to creating and managing both working and community space that is accessible to all.

The tool incorporates 3D graphics which enable a building ‘fly through’, plus ‘hotspots’ in each room with additional information click-throughs and video clips which demonstrate key accessibility features. The guide is intended to show how a building can be made to truly work for people in ways that also satisfy accessibility legislation and regulations.
