Queen Mary Campus Access Guides

Queen Mary University of London has collaborated with the organisation AccessAble (formally DisabledGo) to create a comprehensive set of access guides for all the university's physical locations, covering all our campuses.

About AccessAble 

AccessAble state that they are there to “take the chance out of going out. To give you the detailed information you need to work out if a place is going to be accessible to you”, adding that their “Detailed Access Guides tell you all about a venue's access. They are 100% facts, figures and photographs.” (About AccessAble, 2019)

Their website hosts information on a wide range of venues and organisations across the UK – they currently work with many universities, including Imperial College London and King's College London. More locally, they have also worked with Tower Hamlets council and Barts and The London NHS Health Trust. The organisation was set up in 2000 as a result of their founder, Dr Gregory Burke's experiences and frustrations trying to access his local community as a wheelchair user. AccessAble is a Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise and is a not-for-profit social enterprise.  By 2018 DisabledGo (now AccessAble) was used by over 1.5 million people each year to plan a visit or trip out. Thousands of people continued to shape the service getting involved in DisabledGo's engagement events and social media channels, and they aim to build on this success, hoping to be helping 3 million people by 2020.

AccessAble access guides

The access guides are aimed at disabled people – both prospective applicants and current students, as well as disabled staff and visitors – and have been produced for the benefit of all disabled people, including those with mobility issues, sensory impairments (e.g. hearing impaired, visually impaired, blind and deaf people), as well as those with sensitivities to extraneous lighting and sound, e.g., autistic people.

Where to find the access guides

QMUL’s access guides are hosted on the AccessAble website, with links to QMUL's buildings and services being embedded onto QMUL's own webpages wherever appropriate. The relevant access guide for each campus, building and university service can be navigated to from this main page.
