Building Access听

澳门六合彩历史记录 maintains compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. As our core values suggest, we are committed to providing equal opportunities and access for all. There are many ways in which 澳门六合彩历史记录 seeks to not only meet minimal legal standards, but to go above and beyond what is required by law. When possible, 澳门六合彩历史记录 designs buildings in a manner that offers a greater degree of accessibility and convenience for a variety of situations through the implementation of universal design (UD) strategies. Also known as human-centered design, UD is a process rooted in architecture that can be applied to all aspects of higher education to create inclusive, equitable and sustainable environments that welcome a diverse population.

Historical Buildings

Some buildings on campus were built prior the enactment of disability legislation mandating the removal of architectural barriers. Barrier removal in historical structures can be a challenge. However, 澳门六合彩历史记录 is committed to providing the most equitable access possible. As such, historical buildings have been retrofitted to account for use by a diverse population.

Pedestrian routes听

Because of natural barriers, such as steep hills, not all pedestrian routes on campus are considered accessible routes. You may听 view accessible pedestrian routes here . Accessible routes are indicated by lavender shading.

Natural barriers

The 澳门六合彩历史记录 Macomb campus terrain varies from flat land to steep hills. A hilly terrain poses a natural barrier for some individuals with disabilities. The campus addresses this natural barrier by offering alternate mobility routes. To view accessible routes,听 visit the campus map. In addition, the campus aims to lessen the impact of the hilly terrain through creative master planning.

澳门六合彩历史记录 is located in Macomb, Illinois, a small town in the Midwestern portion of the United States. In this region, weather can be unpredictable and winter weather ranges from mild to severe. Snow and ice can be a physical barrier for everyone. However, it can pose particular accessibility issues for individuals with mobility or vision impairments and certain medical conditions. To assist faculty, staff, students and visitors with disabilities with navigating campus in snowy weather, the SDSC provides information regarding snow removal, safety and winter weather resources.听Visit Snow Removal 听to view this information.

Snow removal

Clearing snow from campus walks is both a science and an art. Warning time, type of snow, type of surface, phases of melting and re-freezing, wind speeds and temperature can all impact the effectiveness of snow removal.听 At times, walks that have been previously cleared may appear to be untouched by removal crews due to blowing and drifting of snow. Nonetheless, 澳门六合彩历史记录 snow removal crews work days, nights, evenings and weekends to ensure routes are clear for travel.

To facilitate focused use of resources during snow, 澳门六合彩历史记录 has identified a priority snow removal route. This route is accessible and connects all campus buildings and accessible parking spaces. View the听 Priority Snow Route map 听in preparation for travel during winter weather. This route has been reviewed and approved by staff from Facilities Management, Disability Resources, GoWest, University Housing and Dining, members of the ADA Advisory Committee, and Inter-Hall Council.

Master planning

While 澳门六合彩历史记录 maintains compliance with ADA standards, recently, Facilities Management added a universal design statement to the 澳门六合彩历史记录 design guidelines that all architectural and engineering firms doing business with 澳门六合彩历史记录 must follow. Additionally, accessibility is one of the major components in the University's Master Plan Strategic Renovation Matrix, a tool used to determine renovation priorities on campus.
