Access at Regent's College
Regent's College has a Disability Access Statement, which details
the overall accessibility for disabled people travelling around the
College. A ramp leads to the Main Entrance of the
College:
A wheelchair platform lift is available for use just inside the
Main Entrance: 
Main Reception provides access for anyone using a
wheelchair (see
picture). From the Main Reception, there is ramped access to
the Quadrant and adjacent buildings (see
picture).
There is a map available that shows
accessibility around the College, as well as disabled
parking facilities (see
pictures of parking spaces).
The College has specialist Evacuation Chairs in situ. These can
be used in the event of an emergency evacuation from any of the
College buildings and enable a physically disabled person exit
safely via the stairs, with assistance. A Personal Emergency
Evacuation Plan can be drawn up as necessary, in consultation with
the College Fire Officer.
Accessible toilets
Wheelchair accessible toilets are situated throughout the
College:
- Herringham Building: one on the ground floor and one in the
basement;
- Darwin Building: basement;
-
Acland Building;
- Reid
Hall: access for students in residence only;
- Oliver Building (near the Refectory and Brasserie);
- Tuke Building: a person using a wheelchair can access this via
the Sports Bar. A toilet with additional handrails (although not
wheelchair accessible) is located on the second floor of Tuke
Building.
Access to classes
Some classes are located on the
ground floor, and most others are delivered in teaching
rooms accessed via a lift and stairs. However, a few teaching
rooms are only accessible via stairs. Therefore, if a
student has a condition that affects their mobility
and they require either ground floor or lift accessible rooms,
please notify Faculty Registry as soon as possible. It is
advisable for a disabled student to also contact the Disability
Officer. Please note that the lift in Jebb
Building is accessed by doors with swipe card access. Either
ask a staff member for help or contact Security (near Main
Reception) in order to have swipe card access authorised.
Enquiries
If disabled visitors have any queries about accessibility prior
to visiting the College they are encouraged first to contact the
department that they are visiting. If they are unsure who to
address their query to they can contact Main
Reception switchboard, who should be able to give them the
relevant contact details. Staff will liaise with the Disability Officer, if required.
