universal design

A concept of design that promotes usability by the greatest number of people regardless of age, ability or other need without the need for specialized adaptation by the user or specialized design of the building, product or environment.

Universal design is designed to work for the maximum number of people and function for (nearly) anyone. Universal designs are also meant to be flexible and adaptable enough that when additional specialized design (or technologies) are needed, they can be adapted with little effort.
