This is a public service announcement video acknowledging the inaccessibility of certain routes at Emory University and introducing the more convenient and accessible ones instead.

For the accessibility evaluation, I decided to evaluate my own route, from Dobbs University Center to the Goizueta Buiness School.  The reason why I chose my own route was because I wanted to see the downsides of my analysis and research.  Surprisingly, there were many more flaws than I thought.

First was the length of each of the routes.  Although the ‘accessible’ route had its benefits, its negative was that the route takes much more time.  It is true that the disabled would feel more at ease, but the specific route takes up more time than the ‘inaccessible’ route.  In all, in order to receive accessibility, one needs to give up time.

After carefully taking both routes to evaluate, there was one factor that I did not identify in the first analysis.  I have previously stated that the accessible route is flat and smooth, since it is on the main road.  However, there are downsides to the main road.  Not only do automobiles and smokers cause an air pollution on the main road, but there also is all different types of noise from people, cars, hospitals, and many more.  In all, the ‘accessible’ route is much more hectic than the ‘inaccessible’ route.

These downsides are ones that cannot be ignored when talking about an accessibility of a route. Although the ‘accessible’ route was built for those that are disabled, there are many more factors to consider to label the road accessible.

I have tried to analyze the accessibility of the female bathroom on the second floor of Harris Hall.  There were many factors to observe, but I have organized few of the most important ones.

The location of the bathroom was a plus, too.  The bathroom was relatively close to the elevator of the building, and the proximity will help those with a mobile disability.





The stalls of the bathroom is quite narrow, making it impossible for those with wheelchairs to fit.  On top of that, there is not a stall created for the disabled.

In all, the girl’s bathroom in Harris Hall second floor is not an accessible bathroom for those that are disabled.

I have chosen to analyze two different routes from the Dobbs University Center to the Goizueta Business School.  I have chosen these two locations because they are two of the biggest centers on the Emory main campus.  There were two routes that I have found: accessible and inaccessible.
