This paper explores results from a survey of fifty-four trans students in two major universities in Ontario that sought to evaluate participants’ access to on-campus facilities. Although both universities have made efforts to accommodate trans students in their use of washrooms, locker rooms, and student housing, the numerous barriers that participants encountered signals stark gaps in access. The results invite a critical reflection of three accommodation models that may be undertaken to address these barriers. By addressing each model’s benefits and limitations, wherein the journey towards trans inclusion may generate a new set of exclusions, this paper complicates the notion of increasing access. This paper concludes by offering recommendations across these three models but concedes that challenges may persist until better facilities are reimagined and redesigned going forward.

Specially designed outdoor spaces (SDOS) have been developed to improve the quality of life of people with dementia. However, few follow-up studies have been done to examine their use once implemented. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how SDOS are used and the objectives of their design fulfilled. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted of a SDOS 3 years after it was built to answer the following questions: How has the garden changed from the original design? What are the current patterns of use of the garden? What factors facilitate use of the garden? What are the barriers to use of the garden? Four main sources of data were used: landscape architectural drawings, non-participant observation, focus groups, and in-depth interviews. The results lend support to the theoretical principles of garden design in the literature. The garden was considered an important part of the service program. However, factors such as garden maintenance, organizational support, staff training, and accessibility may limit its impact.

Un montage d'usinage est un outillage indispensable pour fixer la pièce solidement à la bonne position dans l'espace de travail de la machine outil. La conception du montage d'usinage joue un rôle important pour obtenir une pièce usinée de bonne qualité. Nous avons déjà formalisé les connaissances sur les prises de pièce de manière à pouvoir les gérer tout au long du processus de conception de la gamme d'usinage. Maintenant nous nous intéressons à la conception du montage d'usinage de manière à passer du modèle prise de pièce retenu à la solution technologique qui sera utilisée sur le poste de travail. Cet article aborde le problème de conception du montage d'usinage modulaire du point de vue technologique dans sa globalité ; c'est-à-dire le choix et le placement des éléments technologiques en tenant compte de toutes les contraintes de qualité, d'accessibilité et de comportement mécanique du système pièce-montage d'usinage-outil de coupe durant l'usinage.
