That said, as chairs, we are entrusted with the responsibility to design, develop, and implement environments where learning may flourish for all. The intentional and inclusive design of higher education spaces is crucial for enhancing learning, collaboration, and creativity. This second article in the series will focus on how chairs can cultivate intentional and inclusive learning environments. By reevaluating existing spaces and implementing innovative design strategies, institutions can create environments that support diverse learning needs and foster a culture of innovation. When we get it right, our campus learning environments offer something superior to the comfort and convenience of home.</p>","PeriodicalId":100378,"journal":{"name":"Disability Compliance for Higher Education","volume":"30 10","pages":"6-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143856922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
