Join Mithun principal Seamus Kelly for “Accessibility Matters,” the first session in the 2026 Code Matters Series presented by AIA Seattle’s Code Committee. The half-day educational session will explore the essential role of accessibility in shaping the built environment and how design professionals can create spaces that are inclusive, compliant and future-ready. Participants will gain a deep understanding of accessibility codes and universal design principles, along with practical strategies for applying these standards to both new construction and existing facilities. Seamus will analyze Washington School for the Deaf Divine Academic and Hunter Gymnasium as a case study and share DeafSpace design insights.
