Oxford Accessibility Project

Oxford Accessibility Project We are the Oxford Accessibility Project (OAP): a young not-for-profit that maps building accessibility for wheelchair users in Oxford, United Kingdom.

Our members are Oxford University students and staff. Together, we work to map the accessibility of colleges and social venues to help wheelchair users live active social and personal lives. Our work brings to light the often overlooked environmental barriers to social inclusion faced by wheelchair users. Our initial focus is to map the accessibility of every Oxford college to produce the first co

mprehensive college access guide available online. We believe this will help both present and future Oxford students and visitors. Looking forward, we have ambitions to map Oxford social venues more broadly and to explore accessibility for non-mobility related disabilities. We are a young, socially-minded start-up that sees disability as diversity and empowers persons with disabilities to live engaged and fulfilling lives.

We challenged a non-wheelchair user to get around Oxford in a wheelchair for the day. Let's see how they did!

We're super proud to have launched our College Access Guide last Monday at Rhodes House! Check it out online at https://college.accessguide.ox.ac.uk

Huge thanks to all those who turned out in droves to celebrate this exciting milestone and hopefully the beginning of a new era in accessibility at Oxford.

We're particularly thrilled to announce, in partnership with the University Estates Services and the Conference of Colleges, there will be a full-time College Access Auditor joining the University in 2020!

Check out some fresh photos from the Launch Event below and stay tuned for an exciting new video project we're releasing tomorrow afternoon!
