Attention UMBC Accessibility Partners, Allies, and Ambassadors:
A quick reminder that on Wednesday October 16th at noon Facilities Management and the Office of Accessibility and Disability Services are presenting on recent, current and potential construction projects that enhance physical accessibility, improve the physical environment of UMBC, and benefit the entire community while supporting people with disabilities. Get the latest info and expand our circle of allies-bring a friend or colleague, and share this information broadly.
Learn about accessible design within renovation and new construction, elevator replacement progress, 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 essential to this event.
Please RSVP on myUMBC via this link and click to add it to your calendar. We understand that synchronous attendance can be a challenge and have flexible options for participation.
| Submit questions and ideas ahead of the discussion via this link. |
UMBC's enlargeable Accessible Route Map is linked here as a resource.
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.
