Universal Design in Shopping Malls in Southwest Nigeria
N2  - Universal Design (UD) is a concept that encompasses strategies in design that provides
comfort, flexibility and adaptability in the built environment and improves the quality of life of all
human beings. Perceptible information as a principle of UD that needs to be incorporated in the
design of shopping malls in southwest Nigeria because it helps communicate sensorial information
effectively to users notwithstanding the condition of the users or their sensory capacities. The aim
of this study is to evaluate the use of perceptible information in shopping malls located in southwest
Nigeria with a view to providing a standard for designing shopping malls that fulfill all requirements
of UD. The quantitative method of data collection was used to obtain data. The data obtained was
statistically analyzed and used to generate results related to the study. The Statistical Package of the
Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for the statistical analysis and the results were presented using
descriptive texts, figures, plates and tables. The study uncovered that the application of perceptible
information as a UD principle in shopping malls in southwest Nigeria is insufficient. The study
concluded by recommending various strategies through which perceptible information can be
