Standards DevelopmentStandards Development
The GUDC will develop standards for building design, product design, facilities management and business practices. All standards will be developed using an ANSI approved process but they will not be ANSI designated standards.
The first standards development initiative is focused on Commercial Buildings. When that work is ready for public review, it will be posted under Draft Standards in this section.
Committee Forming
GUDC is forming a Commercial Building Consensus Committee (CBCC) to approve, revise and interpret the Universal Design Standards for Commercial Building. We need consumers, design experts, legislators, federal agencies, manufacturers, sales people, building owners, developers, and professionals like you representing various interest groups to come together as a consensus body. The CBCC will revise the standards until consensus is reached and the first-ever Universal Design Standards can be unveiled.
