Biographical Note


Ronald L. Mace, 1941-1998

Ronald L. Mace was a nationally and internationally recognized architect, product designer, and educator whose design philosophy provided a design foundation for a more usable world. He coined the term "universal design" to describe the concept of designing products and the built environment to serve the needs of people regardless of their age, ability, or status in life.

Mace was born in Jersey City, N.J. in 1941, and contracted polio at the age of nine. His spent his childhood years with his family in Winston-Salem, N.C. In 1966, Mace graduated with a B.A. in Architecture from North Carolina State University's School of Design. For four years he practiced conventional architecture before becoming involved in the effort to produce the first building code for accessibility in the United States. This code became North Carolina law in 1973 and served as a model code for other states. Mace's pioneering work in the field of accessible design was instrumental in the passage of national legislation prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities. His efforts include work on the 1973 Federal Rehabilitation Act which mandates accessibility requirements for federally-funded programs; the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 which provides minimum accessibility requirements in all multifamily housing units; and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 that incorporates major building, transportation, and communications design requirements guaranteeing equal opportunity to all people in public service businesses.

In 1989, Mace established the federally-funded Center for Accessible Housing, currently known as the Center for Universal Design, at North Carolina State University's School of Design. The Center has become a leading national and international resource for information on universal design in housing, products, and the built environment. He also served as Research Professor in the Architecture Department at the School of Design.

Ronald Mace was also President of Barrier Free Environments, Inc. (BFE), an accessible design consulting firm, and a Principal of BFE Architecture, P.A., in Raleigh, N.C. He was Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and in 1992 he received the Distinguished Service Award of the President of the United States for his distinguished service in promoting dignity, equality, independence, and employment of people with disabilities. Mace was also awarded the 1996 American Institute of Architects Presidential Citation and a 1997 North Carolina State University Distinguished Alumni Award. Ron Mace died on June 29, 1998.

Scope and Content Note


The records in the Mace collection document Ronald Mace's work as an architect, designer, consultant, and educator, as well as an advocate for the rights of the disabled. The collection reflects work produced from 1974 to 1998, with the bulk of the material from 1980 to 1990. The records include correspondence, project reports, architectural drawings, videos, and publications. Much of the material reflects Mace's work as a consultant with BFE, Inc. Many of the site surveys and reports were undertaken to determine compliance with the public accommodation and facilities requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Some of the projects include accessibility studies for the Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, the Durham Arts Council, the Concert Hall at the Kennedy Center, and Hyatt Hotels. The University of Virginia project shows the challenge of balancing accessibility goals with preservation concerns. Other projects and publications represent the involvement of Mace and BFE with the federal government, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Education. Their collaborations include training and technical assistance in Section 504 regulations designed to assure disabled people full participation in society, and publications on applying universal design concepts to affordable housing. Other publications in the collection include Mace's pioneering work on the Illustrated Handbook of the Handicapped Section of the North Carolina State Building Code (1974), and BFE's The System: Making Accessibility Affordable: Accessible Design and Product Information System, a resource for design and product information on accessibility. Many of these publications illustrate a focus on accessibility education. The architectural drawings reflect Mace's work as an architect and designer. Projects include the D. Paul Kelly residence, the Conrad residence, a prototype design for a small group home, and additions and improvements for the Easter Seal Society of North Carolina. Also included is a design drawing for a tub seat. Mace's prominence in the field of universal design is reflected in the numerous alphabetical files. These papers include information on conferences and seminars where he was a speaker, consultations with developers of accessible products, as well as documentation of his role in a Dupont advertising campaign.

Organization of the Collection


The records are arranged in five series. The first series, Alphabetical Files, is arranged alphabetically and include correspondence, conference information, design consultations, disability rights material, and reports. The second series, Projects, is arranged chronologically, and includes site surveys, accessibility reports, photographs, proposals, budgets, work files, and architectural drawings detailing Mace's work on specific architectural and design projects. The projects have been assigned project numbers according to the year the project started, and follow numerically within each year. Each project is designated in the finding aid by the call number: MC#.p.project#.folder. The photographs generally detail building conditions that warrant changes in order to provide access, and many have been marked up by Mace to show the specific design changes needed. The third series, Publications, is arranged chronologically. Several of the items have been removed from their original binders, copies made of the cover, and housed in archival boxes. Otherwise they retain in their original integrity. Series 5, Videos, contains several video cassettes on universal design and disability issues, and Series 6, Artifacts, contains Mace's personal library embosser.
