This year, some of our non-capital construction projects included efforts to make #VirginiaTech more accessible. Recently, we completed a project to provide a fully accessible path to the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine building. ⬇️

Collaborating on a UDL project with colleagues at Virginia Tech. We are aware of the research database from @UDLIRN. Wondering if members of the #UDLHE community would be willing to share any favorite studies/research they've found helpful to support UDL Implementation. Thanks!
