Some things people will want to know will be general to all environments, whilst others will be specific to certain types of environment. The following suggestions don't fall into any particular grouping though... Is the main entrance wide enough to be usable with a wheelchair? Is there an alternative entrance that is wide enough to be usable with a wheelchair? What is the location of the doorbell/buzzer at the main entrance? Are corridors (including corners) wide enough to be navigated with a wheelchair? Can electric/power sockets be reached from a sitting position? Where are the electric/power sockets? Can light switches be reached from a sitting position? Can wash basins, kitchen facilities etc. be used from a sitting position? Can lift/elevator buttons be reached from a sitting position? Does the lift/elevator announce each floor with speech? Does the lift/elevator have braille labels for buttons? Does the lift/elevator have tactile buttons? Does the lift/elevator have high-visibility buttons? Is there adequate space for wheelchairs in meeting spaces, auditoriums, dining rooms etc.? Is the reception desk/registration point wheelchair friendly? IIs the bar wheelchair friendly? Is there table service? Is the environment free of obstacles at ground-level? Is the environment free of obstacles at head-height? Is there a place where guide dogs (and other service animals) can be fed/watered/relieved? What is the route from the main entrance to the place where guide dogs can be fed/watered/relieved? Are there parking spaces for people with disabilities? How many parking spaces for disabled people are available? How far from the main entrance of the building are the parking spaces for disabled people? Does the emergency system issue both audible and visual signals? Is there a hearing loop/assisted listening system available? Do signs and signage have high visibility? What is the route from the main entrance to X (where X might be the bar, reception, restroom etc.)? Do air-con controls have tactile buttons/speech output? Undoubtedly lots more that should be added, but that's all I can think of for the moment without getting into some questions that are very specific to certain types of environment. If these would be useful in any case, let me know though. Léonie. -- Senior Accessibility Engineer, TPG @LeonieWatson @PacielloGroup
