Accessibility is important to the university. This means that UU wants to provide everyone with the best and most independent access to its buildings and grounds. UU's goal is to ensure that employees and students with disabilities do not feel impeded from employment or education.

Building information

For each building, there is information on accessibility and wheelchair accessibility. There is also information on the presence of all-gender toilets, quiet rooms and pumping areas.

Overview of all buildings

Accessibility in existing buildings

Accessibility bottlenecks are solved in consultation with building users. Solutions are often possible, but there are sometimes considerable challenges in monumental buildings in the city centre. Minor adaptations and serious accessibility problems are addressed in the short term whenever possible. Major adaptations are accommodated in larger (renovation) projects.

Accessibility in new buildings and renovations

In new construction and major renovation projects, the various standards and guidelines for creating accessible buildings and sites are taken into account from the design phase.

Site accessibility

When there are problems with the accessibility of a site providing access to the university, but that site does not belong to Utrecht University, the Campus & Facilities Directorate contacts the municipality or the transport company together to improve the situation.
