The design of products and environments that are usable by all people, regardless of age or ability.
In 1997, the Center for Universal Design at North Carolina State University compiled a wide-ranging list of characteristic features of universal houses, such as wider doors, stepless entrances, lever-door handles, no-curb walk-in showers and higher electrical outlets.
