Designing inclusive and accessible spaces for all. Neurodiversity is a relatively new term that many people may not yet know much about. However, learning more about neurodiversity and taking steps to better support it in workplaces can be hugely beneficial for employers and employees.

Many people find the modern workplace to be a challenging environment: the bustle and activity of open floorplates, while great for fostering collaboration, can be a great hindrance to those with autism and other neurological and mental health conditions.

It is the job of forward-thinking designers and occupiers to change the definition of inclusivity, broadening its scope while not affecting the vitality of interior designs.
