On Friday, March 2, the University Consortium Kyoto will focus on "Facility Responses in Support for Students with Disabilities" and will set up an opportunity for facility managers at each school to exchange opinions. In addition to legal compliance, we will exchange opinions on the keywords of "accessibility," "facilities that are easy for students with disabilities to use," and "prior improvement measures and reasonable accommodations when constructing or renovating facilities."
Please use it not only to collect case studies from other universities and obtain hints for solving problems at your own university, but also to build a network among facility managers. We look forward to your participation. (Click here for the flyer)
