Boat Cruise and Program: Designing Neuroinclusive Workplaces feat. Kay Sargent!

Friday, July 18, 2025 to Friday, July 18, 2025
The Grand Banquet Hall Stillwater, MN, United States

Designing Neuroinclusive Workplaces: Sensory Processing, Cognitive Well-Being and Neuroinclusion

The fact is that today we are living in a time of increased numbers and awareness about individuals with neuro-sensitives and special needs, such as ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia. In fact, 1 in 5 people are considered neurodivergent, but fewer than 50% know it. And when we design for the extreme, we benefit the mean, for everyone is impacted for sensory stimuli in the build environment, even neurotypicals. Spaces today needs to reflect the diverse makeup of organizations. Not only is designing to be inclusive the right thing to do, but there is also a compelling business case for it as well.

In the past eight years HOK and partners have undertaken multiple research studies, workshops and literature reviews to determine the key factors that are impacting neurodivergents in the building environment and develop design strategies to address them. Join us as we share the findings to date, some case studies of clients that have designed for inclusion, and to understand how we can design a more neuroinclusive community.
