Inclusivity & Accessibility

Accessibility and inclusivity are central aspects of design. The MIT Morningside Academy for Design (MAD) works to ensure that its spaces, programs, and resources are accessible to people of all abilities and backgrounds.

Access and Accommodations

Efforts to improve accessibility include:

• Ensuring physical spaces are designed for universal access.
• Providing alternative formats for digital and in-person content, such as captions and transcripts.
• Offering multiple ways to engage with events and programs, including remote participation or by providing replays when possible.

Inclusive Design Practices

Inclusive design is integrated into teaching, research, and projects. Considerations include:

• Designing for a range of users with different abilities and experiences.
• Encouraging diverse perspectives in the design process.
• Evaluating and improving accessibility based on feedback.
