Identifying Accessibility Barriers at University Built Environment: Findings from the University of Kent
To determine the level of accessibility of the University of Kent, six of the university’s buildings, namely the Templeman Library, the Venue, Elliot College, the Registry, the Marlowe Building and the Jarman Building, were selected and an access audit was conducted on each of them. The exterior and interior features of the buildings were evaluated to identify any physical and/or management barriers. In addition transport issues, such as car parking facilities and public transport that served the university, were considered. Further data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews with ten students and staff members with disabilities and also with four education providers and two architects. An online survey of 24 questions was also completed by 236 students and staff members of both sexes and a range of ages, ethnicities and disabilities.
