Pioneering institution is the latest of over 90 higher education providers to partner with AccessAble; the UK’s leading provider of detailed disabled access information.

University of Nottingham has worked with AccessAble to create Detailed Access Guides to all residency and academic spaces including teaching rooms.

The Guides are 100 per cent facts, figures, and photographs to help students, visitors and staff plan their journey to and around the university, covering everything from parking facilities and hearing loops, to walking distances and accessible toilets.

We know everyone’s accessibility needs are different, which is why having detailed, accurate information is so important. It’s why all of the details you’ll find in the Guide have been checked in person, on site, by trained surveyors.

University of Nottingham have also partnered with AccessAble on a new Route Map initiative, providing an interactive map which pulls together all accessible routes across the campuses. The new map is due to be launched later in the year.

David Livermore, Director of Business Development at AccessAble, said:

“We are delighted to launch Detailed Access Guides to University of Nottingham. The university have made a significant investment in accessibility. They’ve worked in partnership with us to ensure detailed access information to the campus is easily available. That is vital for disabled students, visitors, and staff and valuable for everybody. 

Our initiative is all about removing barriers to higher education and improving the experience for everyone. We welcome University of Nottingham into our national network of 90+ universities across the country who are committed to including disabled people.”

Professor Katherine Linehan, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and People at University of Nottingham, said:

“As we continue to strive towards a more inclusive campus, the launch of our partnership with AccessAble is a significant milestone that will help create a more welcoming and supportive environment for all members of our community.

The AccessAble website and App are great resources for people to plan and organise their time on campus, locate our inclusive facilities such as parent rooms and represents a significant step towards removing barriers that may prevent individuals with protected characteristics from feeling fully included in university life.”

It is also available via the AccessAble App which is free to download from the App Store and Google Play, giving you accessibility information at your fingertips during your university experience.

The information to University of Nottingham’s site joins over 70,000 places already covered across the UK, making www.AccessAble.co.uk a great tool for planning your university experience, a day out or trip away.
