ADDRESSING INADEQUATE BUILDING DESIGN FOR DIFFERENTLY ABLED WORKERS IN UNIVERSITY CAMPUS: A SATISFACTION STUDY

Abstract

This study explores the satisfaction level of differently abled workers in Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University with regard to building infrastructure. The study surveyed 10 respondents and found that the majority of these workers were working independently for their routine work due to a lack of accessibility in building infrastructure. Although most of the buildings in the campus had basic accessibility features like drooped kerbs, illuminating/lighting, stairs, entrance, accessible doors, signage’s, and information panels, the study found that they lacked ramps, lifts, and accessible toilets. The study concluded that there is a need for the implementation of accessible toilets and ramps for differently abled people in the university campus. The document also discusses the importance of infrastructure design and accessibility for differently abled individuals and the impact it has on their work efficiency
