Eric,
A bridge is a great idea. This was brought up at a recent meeting for the remodel of the HT Building. This is on the wish list and will be given more consideration as plans progress. As with everything, this is dependent on funding. Thank you for your suggestions.

We also need better and more visible signage on the sides of all the buildings. Is this in anyone’s plans?

Thank you to those who have commented. Ideas and suggestions for how to make PCC more accessible are always welcome. The ideas that have been shared here will be brought to the Accessibility Council.

Please remember too, that all PCC webpages have an accessibility link in the footer so feedback can be shared at any time. Additionally, students can access individualized supports through Disability Services; employees or members of the community can work with me, PCC’s ADA Coordinator.

There should be disabled parking spaces restored in back of the CC building to make the elevator accessible and less distance to walk to the CC, and HT buildings. There is a sidewalk that is parallel with the CC building on the south-side of the campus between the HT and CC building, there were disabled parking spaces there previously, but now they are loading zones? This provides a level access point with less distance to traverse to the CC building which is technically the center of the campus but the least accessible for disabled persons. Since Disability Services, Counseling, Financial Aid, Cafeteria, and all the student resources are in the CC building, it is imperative that access be available to the disabled students to the CC building. What about a map for the ADA/504, disabled parking?

There should be a bridge between the 3rd floor of the HT building and the CC building. Getting from the third floor of HT to CC takes a really long time on crutches. I imagine it’s worse in a wheelchair. A bridge across that quad connecting the two would solve that, would improve access to the three bathrooms up there (2 outside, 1 inside HT), would improve the look of the quad, and could provide a covered walk for people walking from HT’s main floor over to the CC in the rain.

With the additional access to the bathrooms, you could then afford to turn one of them into transgendered so that there will be one on the HT side of campus.

Please change all color-coded items on the pcc website to color over patterns so that colorblind people with spine issues (like me!) can actually read the accessibility map.

Example – All red items excluding text would be changed to have a pattern background of a jagged line.

Please add a swatch of the respective pattern background in its own field immediately before all colored text.

Example – I see a color key for the text. I am unable to identify the color. Oh, cool, this jagged line means it goes with the other jagged lines. I love PCC!
