Ensure hallways (both in buildings and individual classrooms) are wide and clear of clutter. In cases where items are permanent, look for ways to improve the situation.

If possible, provide accessible chairs and tables in offices and classrooms. Some classrooms and labs are equipped with stools or high tables that may not be accessible for all individuals. Most, if not all centrally scheduled classrooms have accessible tables and chairs. In department-managed classrooms, College Facilities Services can work with the department to identify accessible classroom furniture solutions.

For faculty and teaching assistants, make it clear that if a student needs any sort of accommodations, they are welcome to chat with you and that you’re happy to help. This can go a long way to help make individuals feel welcome and included.
