Post-occupancy Evaluation Focused on Accessibility: Experience of Participation in the University Community

University campuses are the main places where the activities of higher education are developed. To include students, teachers and the community in this educational space it is necessary to have accessibility in open areas and buildings. The access routes, the pedagogic environments of the campus and the coexistence of administrative, educational and recreational activities should allow the free circulation of pedestrians and people with disabilities or reduced mobility. The inclusion and permanence of young people and adults in university environments is a fundamental strategy to raise the level of education of the population, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The paper presents a post-occupancy evaluation focused on the physical accessibility in an institution of higher education. The methodology procedures include photography record, surveys, walkthroughs, and interviews with the university community. The preliminary results show that the implementation of accessibility in university campuses still needs to raise awareness on universal accessibility and urban democracy. The participation of the university community is essential for the implementation of accessibility as a strategy for social and environmental sustainability, preparing professionals to face challenges of cities and committed to the environment.
