  • Accessibility on campus

Accessibility is important to Arcada. Our goal is to create study and work environments that take individual differences and diversity into account. 

Arcada offers special educational support to students who e.g. have hearing, vision or mobility impairments, learning difficulties, or whose studies are obstructed due to injury or illness. Special pedagogical support can for example include extended time for exams, alternative examination forms, or the use of different tools.

Through the Arcada library students with reading difficulties get access to audiobooks in Celia, a national library for accessible literature and publishing in Finland. The Arcada library also offers advice and guidance on borrowing and using books through the Celia service.

We continuously work on improving the accessibility of Arcada’s websites, and aim at using accessible presentation material during all lectures and other learning activities.

Accessibility on campus

We continuously work on improving the accessibility on our campus and in our operations:

  • Outside the entrance of Hämeenkatu (Hämeenkatu 107) there is a parking space for mobility impaired. The entrance has a ramp to the first floor of the Arcada building.
  • From the main entrance you can access all floors by using the elevators. The buttons of the elevators are placed on a low height.
  • There are toilets on every floor. Every floor has a larger toilet which is accessible for people with wheelchairs.
  • In the Arcada building there is an evacuation chair which can be used in the event of a fire.
  • Our Big Auditorium is equipped with a hearing loop.
