Current site design practice typically assumes that users will arrive by car, often creating hostile conditions for those arriving on foot or by bicycle. This 1-day course offered at Portland State University teaches participants how to apply human factors in rethinking and redesigning commercial, civic, office, and light industrial sites so they are attractive, safe and convenient for pedestrians and bicyclists. The course will include opportunities for interaction and application of concepts in small group exercises.

Topics will include:

• Access Management
• Building orientation
• Parking lot design
• Pedestrian access
• Bicycle access and bicycle parking
• Building design – exterior and interior
