Loughborough University consistently ranked in the UK’s top 10 is the latest of over 90 higher education providers to partner with AccessAble; the UK’s leading provider of detailed disabled access information.

Loughborough University has worked with AccessAble to create Detailed Access Guides to all buildings and bookable teaching spaces.

The Guides are 100 percent facts, figures, and photographs to help students, visitors, and staff plan their journey to and around the university, covering everything from parking facilities and hearing loops to walking distances and accessible toilets.

We know everyone’s accessibility needs are different, which is why having detailed, accurate information is so important. It’s why all of the details you’ll find in the Guide have been checked in person, on site, by trained surveyors.

David Livermore, Director of Business Development at AccessAble, said:

“We are delighted to launch Detailed Access Guides to Loughborough University. The university have made a significant investment in accessibility. They’ve worked in partnership with us to ensure in-depth access information to the campus is easily available. That is vital for disabled students, staff and visitors and valuable for everybody. 

Our initiative is all about removing barriers to higher education and improving the experience for everyone. We welcome Loughborough University into our national network of 90+ universities across the country who are committed to including disabled people.”

Veronica Moore, Director of Student Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) at Loughborough University, said:

“I am so pleased that Loughborough has partnered with AccessAble to provide an easy-to-use guide with detailed and accurate information about access across campus and campus buildings.

“Accessed simply via a website and App, I know that this resource is going to make such a positive difference to the experience of students, staff and campus visitors. It’s exciting to know that going forwards the AccessAble guide has the potential to benefit the entire university community by enabling greater inclusion, increasing opportunities for everyone to reach their potential and enabling people to get the most out of the great resources our campus has to offer, regardless of differences in physical ability.

“The introduction of this resource is an indication of Loughborough University’s strategic commitment to work on removing barriers to an equitable experience for all.”
