Lighthouse Headquarters
Lighthouse International headquarters is one of the only buildings in the United States specifically planned to integrate the needs of people of all ages who have a broad range of vision, hearing and mobility impairments. A model of universal design and accessibility, this 170,000 square foot building is designed to satisfy, and in many cases exceed, the recommendations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The building is a "working laboratory" where many design features are tested for the first time. In creating the building, architects and designers were guided, every step of the way, with information from Lighthouse vision researchers and other staff experts. Lighthouse consumers provided their input regarding lighting, signage, color contrast, audible communications, safety and orientation and mobility issues.
