Co-presented by Center of Life, and Shiftworks 

Sponsored by Studio Volcy

In the context of the built environment, the notion of “everyone is welcome” is different from “we built this for and with you in mind.” Green Building Alliance is honored to present internationally recognized architect and universal design advocate Chris Downey, who lost his sight in 2008 and whose transformative work is reshaping design for the visually impaired; inclusivity trailblazer Kimberly Lewis-Inkumsah, Executive Vice President, Equity, Engagement & Events, International WELL Building Institute; and local innovators who are centering accessibility, beauty, and human health at the heart of public spaces and places. 

Join us at MuseumLab®, a living example of inclusive, sustainable design, and explore how the built environment can integrate design strategies that not only accommodate physical needs and requirements but also make everyone feel that they belong and are welcome.

Guests will enjoy food and drink, and the evening will include time for conversation and networking. A speaker-led panel discussion will follow the presentation. Panelists will answer questions from our moderator as well as questions provided by the audience. Childcare will also be available.
