BRINGING

UNIVERSAL (~-- r,~ DESIGN to the Self-Checkout ~ ~,01"'9Vr ~ rr~ ~~

Counter The self-checkout counter is a common sight in grocery stores across the nation. But what impact does it have on the design of a store and on people who use it? Architecture student Ryan Hansen worked with Associate Professor Hye-Young Kim (Retail Merchandising) to answer this question in his honors thesis.

Why did you decide to team up with the retail merchandising program for your thesis? L-1 ~•rr Working with retail merchandising helped me better understand how a retail space is viewed all the way from top designers to the actu al people that are shopping there.

t-,.,r Where did the idea for your honors thesis originate?

My honors thesis started with a question I had on Japanese retail design. Th is line of questioning evolved into researching what. the self-checkout line means for our cities and the people in our cities. Working with my advisor and my classmates, I focused on St. Paul and particularly Lund's and Byerly's. I decided to research what a self-checkout counter means for clerks, for space, and, even more specifically, what it means for individuals with disabilities.

Why specifically individuals with disabilities?

In the School of Architecture, they really emphasize recognizing our own biases. I've never particularly liked the self-checkout counter and when I talked to my thesis advisor, who is partially blind, I really started to recognize that there are a lot of people who don't fit into the mold that this machine tells us we should fit into.
