Ulster University

Much consideration has been given to Campus Accessibility including the way people can freely move through each floor. When moving through campus horizontally all routes are step free, with minimal ramps. When moving around the building vertically each floor on campus is fully serviced by lifts, including emergency evacuation lifts at key locations: Induction loops and infrared listening systems are installed throughout the Belfast campus. The induction loops create an electromagnetic field, which the receiver in a hearing aid picks up. It then converts the electromagnetic field to audible sound, delivered right to the ear of the person wearing the hearing aid. This helps to cut out background noise and hear communications as though they were being spoken up-close. Toilets and accessible facilities are located throughout the Belfast campus, usually located in key areas beside main navigation points such as main entrances to each campus building and beside most stair and lift cores. All accessible toilets have an emergency alarm pull-cord that relays back to reception. The Changing Places Toilets available on the Belfast campus include a minimum of 12 square meters of space, a changing bench and hoist, height adjustable wash basins and centrally placed peninsular toilets with room at each side to support wheelchair users. Changing Places Toilets can be found at the following locations: The Birley Building (BA): BA-00-A3-005 (Ground Floor) BC: BC-03-108 BD: BD-02-011
