MoreThe North Carolina State University, College of Design, Center for Universal Design Records include drawings and plans of houses and commercial buildings illustrating the concepts of accessible or universal design. There are also some drawings of appliances as well as some materials published by the Center. Materials range in date from 1985 to 2001. The Center for Universal Design was founded to promote and to research accessible or universal design in the home, in commercial and public facilities, in the built environment, and in products. The Center accomplished this goal through education and training, research projects, and its publications. Originally called the Center for Accessible Design, it was founded in 1989 by Ronald L. Mace, a pioneer in the field, who coined the term "universal design." By about 2008, the Center was no longer functioning.
