Project Description
Accessibility Guideline for NYU Library Galleries
Our team aims to expand on the accessibility services that NYU provides by creating digital and physical guidelines for NYU Library Gallery Spaces, as well as an accessibility guide for NYU Bobst Library.
By being mindful of the interpretation challenges that may come with experiencing various forms of art in the digital and physical space, our guidelines serve as a resource for gallery designers and curators to refer to prior to their installation.
Despite working primarily with Elmer Holmes Bobst Library, our guidelines should reflect universal usability for all NYU affiliated galleries.
