November Education – Universal Design

Mark your calendars and plan on attending this informative session on Universal Design.

November, 24, 2014 – 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm at Meek’s Design Center (2131 N. Glenstone).

Nancy Asay, a Professor from Missouri State University, will be talking about “An Entrance for Healthful Living” and “Aging in Place”.  This presentation will be about retrofitting home entrances to increase quality of life and aging in place.  Nancy uses existing homes as examples of how entrances can be changed to improve the lifestyle of the home owners, and increase their home value while they remain in their preferred residence. One out of every five Americans (age 15 and over) needs help seeing, hearing, speaking, walking, using stairs, lifting, carrying objects, getting around, or simply getting out of bed. Universal Design can reduce the fear of again with designs that compliment capabilities.

Nancy will be providing information and ideas that will be useful to all HBA members, so plan on attending this wonderful Education event!

RSVP to Jamie by Friday, November 21st.

Thank you to Meek’s – The Builder’s Choice for sponsoring this education event.
