A Case History
 
A high tech workplace with over 12,000 employees.
Raytheon: Integrated Defense Systems
Employing a large, diverse workforce, Raytheon’s IDS asked Kessler McGuinness & Associates to identify barriers to full accessibility throughout 13 of its facilities nationwide. Although substantially accessible, Raytheon implemented a division-wide program to remove remaining barriers, add assistive listening systems, and develop protocols for safe egress for people with disabilities.
