Accessibility Tour: Wayfinding, Skywalks and Resources
Raising Awareness, Connecting with Campus Partners
Location
Mathematics/Psychology : 212
Date & Time
January 10, 2024, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Description
Navigating UMBC's campus-on-a-hill as a person with a disability brings out overt and sometimes more subtle features of its accessible design. Join us to learn more (which can extend to being an effective Accessibility Ally!) and discuss:
What are the features? We have many, including a Skywalk and several upgrades that happened while we were remote, and more on the way (work on the Math/Psych elevator update has already begun!)
What are the bugs? Learn more about how work with situations, whether it's contacting Work Control for a repair (410-455-2550), reporting an accessibility concern, or working with campus partners, such as Facilities Management and DoIT to support inclusion. Accessibility is everyone's responsibility.
We will gather at ADS/SDS Reception and learn the skywalk and tunnel connections within the Academic Core, review Adaptive Computing within the Library, and visit the reception area of Retriever Integrated Health - which supports both physical and mental health. The tour is limited to a small group, and please know that mask use is VERY WELCOME.
Can't make the day or time? More tours are planned. Have a (small) group? Email us to set up a day and time that works for the occasion.
Need to request a disability-based accommodation or have questions about the event or a specific location? Email the organizer via slazar@umbc.edu
