Core Webinar: Accessible & Inclusive Library Design

Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2024

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description: Join this webinar with Architect Kate Michaud and Interior
Designer Lauren Gardner of MSR Design in Minneapolis, MN to explore ways to
make your library more accessible and inclusive to patrons and staff. We
will cover the basics of the ADA guidelines and how they apply to you. Kate
and Lauren will discuss designing beyond the ADA, looking holistically at
the patron experience, from the broad lens of exterior building access down
to best practices for inclusive furnishings selections. We will review case
studies from public library projects and end with a checklist of things you
can do today to improve accessibility and inclusion at your library.

Learning takeaways:

   -

   A list of considerations from the broad lens of exterior building access
   down to best practices for inclusive furnishings.
   -

   A list of actions libraries can do today to make their spaces more
   accessible and inclusive without engaging in a renovation project.

Who should attend?

Library facilities managers, directors, branch managers, library staff.
This webinar explains design considerations from a building and exterior
scale all the way down to best practices for furniture
layout/types/selection.

Presenter:

As MSR Design’s director of project delivery and a firm senior associate,
Kate Michaud is a thoughtful architect with experience in a diverse mix of
projects, including public libraries, market rate and affordable
multifamily housing, single-family residences, and corporate offices. Kate
has a passion for community centered work and believes that everyone can
benefit from good design. She is a member of the International Association
for Public Participation (IAP2) and the Urban Land Institute (ULI). Her
work has been recognized with numerous awards, including an AIA Minnesota
Honor Award, AIA Chicago Distinguished Building Award, AIA Iowa Honor
Award, and two Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Awards for Architectural
Excellence in Community Design.

Lauren Gardner finds inspiration in projects that bring people together to
share their community aspirations, which design teams can create innovative
solutions around. An associate and certified interior designer with MSR
Design, she actively considers the intersectionality of end users within
individual spaces and how these spaces can support shared experiences that
build community. She wants all users to feel welcome and supported in
community environments and have barrier-free experiences in all the spaces
they use. Lauren also researches sustainable products and healthy materials
as part of the firm’s initiative to design spaces that benefit the overall
health of the people who use them, as well as the environment.
