Spring Accessible Project Update and Discussion February 5, 2020 at Noon in UC 310

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. There are new projects on the horizon, and your ideas, suggestions and feedback will inform the process for UMBC's continued participation with the AccessMD Program. 

Please RSVP on the event page linked here.  ASL interpretation will be provided. Individuals with disabilities requesting accommodation should contact the organizer, slazar@umbc.edu, as soon as possible. In all situations, a good faith effort (up until the time of the event) will be made to provide reasonable accommodation. 

If you have any remaining questions or suggestions prior to the discussion contact Celso Guitian in Planning and Construction Services via cguitian@umbc.edu / 410-455-5578 or Stephanie Lazarus, ADA/Section 504 Coordinator via slazar@umbc.edu / 410-455-5745. If you cannot attend, but have ideas for additional projects, please reach out to us, we want to hear from you!
