Mobilize
RK Access is the newest service offering from Riddell Kurczaba and represents our continued mission to make architecture more accessible to all. Continually researching and advocating for higher accessibility standards, we believe the built environment should be a reflection of our society and that everyone should be able to enjoy our spaces and access amenities regardless of physical ability.
We stand firm in our commitment to provide design expertise for persons with disabilities beyond the bare minimum that barrier-free legislation requires. Our mandate is to design spaces that are safe and inviting for all people, especially those for whom design is often a human-made barrier when in fact it should be a human-made connector.
Riddell Kurczaba is proud to serve as one of the few architectural firms in Canada with a registered architect who is also accredited as a RHFAC (Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification™) Professional.
At RK Access, we can help you find a clear path to release your project to greater possibilities:
Championing safety and independence • Promoting inclusivity in buildings and spaces • Driving higher levels of community engagement • Enhancing brand reputation through awareness, acknowledgment and action
