This Columbus, Ohio property serves as both a residence and an educational facility that conducts personalized tours, specialized training and hosts special events. The Universal Design Living Laboratory features hundreds of building design and construction products which have all been incorporated into home building construction plans and were selected based on principals of Universal Design. This Columbus, Ohio, Universal Design Living Laboratory was designed and custom built for Rosemarie Rossetti, a spinal cord injury survivor, global spokesperson on issues and needs of those with disabilities, and international educator on Universal Design. Many of those who tour this home and participate in continuing education courses now being offered are from professions including real estate, construction, building and product design, interior design, and architecture. I found this property tour experience to be both eye-opening, educational and it made me see the life-changing, transformative possibilities and options of building with accommodative living features based on principals of Universal Design. Rosemarie Rosemarie and her husband, Mark Leder are serving as the educational leaders and role models advocating for more builders to design and build homes which will ultimately better serve the needs of our aging population for years to come with Universal Design. This is a must-see property and a life-changing educational opportunity if you can get here.
