Facilities Management and the Office of Accessibility and Disability Services are hosting a review of recent, current and potential construction projects that enhance accessibility, improve the physical environment of UMBC, and benefit the entire community while supporting accessibility for people with disabilities. 

Learn about elevator replacement progress, accessible design within renovation, and more! Current/planned projects will be discussed and campus members (especially those with disabilities) are encouraged to share ideas, some may inform the proposal process for UMBC's participation with the AccessMD Program. The presentation goes beyond that program - and ideas from the lived experience of people with disabilities are especially important to this event.  

ASL is available for people attending in-person upon request.  Masking is welcome. Captioning will be provided,  Asynchronous options will be communicated to registered attendees after the event.  Contact slazar@umbc.edu  with event questions, access needs or accommodation requests.

Ideas for additional projects are also welcome at any time, please share them with Celso Guitian in FM Campus Planning via cguitian@umbc.edu and Stephanie Lazarus, ADA/Section 504 Coordinator via slazar@umbc.edu / 410-455-5745.  Bring UMBC accessibility concerns to the attention of Accessibility & Disability Services at any time via this linked reporting form.
