The new 17,000 SF Tom and Ruth Harkin Center at Drake University, designed by BNIM, sets a new standard for universal and inclusive design and embodies the values of The Harkin Institute’s focus on accessible and equitable spaces.

BNIM’s Kevin Nordmeyer, AIA, LEED AP and Jason Kruse, AIA, LEED AP BD+C and The Harkin Institute’s Executive Director describe some of its most innovative features: a two-story ramp that serves as the primary path between floors; generously sized circulation spaces that support sign-language conversations and multiple wheelchair users; high-contrast and textural cues for low-vision individuals; and gender-inclusive restrooms. The presenters also describe the strong overlap between the sustainable design strategies and the occupants’ health and productivity.
