The National Institute on Aging defines aging in place as "staying in your own home as you get older," though there are many barriers to aging in place, including affordability, disability, and home design.
Assistant Professor of Design and Merchandising, Maria Delgado, introduces us to universal design standards that aim to make homes more accessible, and we learn about the affordable, sustainable, and visitable tiny home that Delgado's students are building for a lucky older adult.
Delgado is looking for older adult (55+) volunteers in Northern Colorado to provide user feedback to her students about their tiny home design. If interested, email Maria Delgado at [email protected].
