Universal Access - Community Design Solutions (CDS)
IntroductionHistory of CDS and R2D2 Center InvolvementCommunity Design Solutions (CDS), previously named Campus Design Solutions, was developed as one of the Milwaukee Ideas on the UW-Milwaukee campus. According to the Center for Architecture & Urban Planning Research, the goal of Community Design Solutions is to become a system-wide, multidisciplinary network of design-oriented individuals and groups who will work collaboratively with their colleagues and communities to improve and enhance the physical environment of their campuses and neighborhoods. In order to accomplish this, CDS acts as a campus and community clearinghouse to examine physical design issues raised through both official and unofficial sources and generates design alternatives to inform and enrich specific projects. The R2D2 Center became involved with CDS through collaboration on the construction of the Milwaukee Idea Home. The expertise of the R2D2 Center in universal design and accessibility incorporated R2D2 staff as a major collaborator towards the development of the MIH. The R2D2 Center involvement also extended beyond the MIH. Universal Access MissionThe Community Design Solutions Universal Access mission encompasses several projects at the R2D2 Center. These include the Milwaukee Idea Home, the ACCESS-ed Project, Design and Disability Instruction, and the Senior Home Assessment and Repair Project. Since the inception of the Milwaukee Idea Concept, the R2D2 Center with the UWM Occupational Therapy Department have been important partners in CDS activities. Related Projects
