Wheelchair accessible washrooms have been installed in every building. As the older buildings undergo major renovations, accessibility is a key consideration. When any Campus roadwork is done, it is designed to include strategic drops in the curbs to ensure convenient travel. Any new buildings are designed and built to the current building codes. According to John Labrie, Georgian s Director of Physical Resources, every project the College undertakes ensures that accessibility is a major consideration.
Snow clearing is a major issue with the able-bodied and the disabled alike.
Labrie says his department tries to ensure the access routes for wheelchairs are well cleared after a snowfall. The Special Needs Services department within the Centre for Access and Disability Services sets the tone for the College through its approach to those with any form of disability. Some students, although fully capable of meeting the learning objectives, need specific support so that opportunities and conditions in the classroom are appropriate for them. This support is often offered in the form of adjustments, called accommodations. The College, through the Centre for Access and Learning Disability Services and the Special Needs Services department, has a number of ways to accommodate students with disabilities.
