Shaw Contract Introduces New Education Course, Design for All
Cartersville, GA, March 11, 2026-Shaw Contract has launched Design for All, a continuing education course created to help architecture and design professionals better understand how inclusive, purpose‑driven design can support collective well‑being across commercial environments.
Design for All is a 1.0 IDCEC / 1 LU and 1 AIA LU (General) accredited CEU that explores how design decisions influence human health, social connection, learning, and environmental responsibility. Through five interconnected lenses-wellbeing, connection, learning, experience, and thriving-the course examines how shared spaces can foster belonging, resilience and regeneration. Participants are guided through cultural shifts, emerging values, and evolving design drivers that shape how spaces are created and experienced today.
Design for All provides designers with actionable insights they can apply across commercial interiors, including:
- Emerging color directions that support inclusive environments
- Long‑term environmental implications of design decisions
- Material and color applications that encourage representation and belonging
- Responsible design practices that consider both people and planet
Design for All is available to architecture and design professionals through Shaw Contract’s education platform and can be delivered as either a live presentation or a virtual session.
