The UAA Campus Map is dynamic - it is continuously improved through the crowd sourcing efforts of students, staff, and faculty using Google Map Maker. 

• Read an overview of the types of Accessibility Features that are listed within descriptions of UAA buildings and noted on Floor Plans.

• how to improve the UAA Campus Map, and

Service Delivery Spaces

• The Library Reference desk serves students and community members who have questions. In order to best meet the needs of those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, or those who have limited English proficiency, a second monitor and keyboard were added. Now patrons and staff can easily type conversations.
  
• The One Stop Shop at the University Center is a great example of an accessible space plan. Historically students had to wait in line for extended periods during peak business and this was difficult for many individuals. Now, students can accomplish most tasks online, and if assistance is needed there are seats and stations to use on site.

Adaptive Computing Spaces

• The Disability Support Services space was renovated in the Summer of 2009 with considerable upgrades to the adaptive computing spaces. Electric height adjustable tables and flully flexible monitor arms provide work stations that can be adjusted for a wide range of needs. A rich collection of hardware and software allow for further customization.
• Each of the Open Computing Labs feature at least one height adjustable table with a larger monitor on a flexible mount.
• All computers across campus can have the Accessibility Suite installed through our unlimited site licensing for adapative software.
• The Multicultural Center has computers with additional adaptive software installed on accessible stations.

Classroom Environments

• A Strategic Opportunity Fund provided matched funding for a Disability Support Services initiative to purchase and place closed caption decoders in each of the smart classrooms. Note that most projectors can't display captions from DVDs without a decoder.
• Disability Support Services purchases ergonomic furniture and places it on behalf of students with documented need every semester. It is a difficult process logistically, and ensuring access to this furniture on the part of the students who need it is critical.

Communal Spaces and Housing Units

• Spaces for community events need to accommodate a variety of individual needs. As an example consider the Assistive Listening Devices that can easily be used with the sound system in the Wendy Williamson auditorium, or the recent removal of fixed seats to increase the number of spaces available for those who use wheelchairs or scooters.
• Spaces to gather, spaces to work, and paths of travel all must be usable to a wide range of individuals. As an example consider the design choices for UAA spaces such as the spine where covered passage from building to building afford users more accessible options and tables are arranged in configurations that allow students who use wheelchairs to study with peers.
• University housing provides a number of configurations to meet the needs of students who wish to live on campus. In addition to the standard accessible units, the housing staff are responsive to individual needs and work collaboratively to further modify units to ensure quality living experiences for those with disabilities.
