ACCESSIBLE UNIVERSITY

Accessible university

RheinMain University of Applied Sciences aims to enable people with and without disabilities or a chronic illness to have full and equal access to the university and to facilitate their active, independent participation in everyday university life. To this end, we strive to create equal opportunities for studying and working at the university and to improve accessibility.

Structural accessibility

Access to the university buildings

RheinMain University's buildings are located across four campuses in Wiesbaden and one in Rüsselsheim.

Wiesbaden Campuses

The campus facilities at Kurt-Schumacher-Ring are accessible by wheelchair via the car park (with parking spaces for people with disabilities) from Klarenthaler Straße. Other step-free access points are available from Hollerbornstraße and via a ramp from Kurt-Schumacher-Ring. A tactile guiding strip connects buildings A and G.

Access to the university buildings on the Kurt-Schumacher-Ring campus is mostly enabled for wheelchair users via sensor or key-controlled doors that open by means of electric motors, as well as via ramps (exception: Building B is not accessible without assistance). Elevators ensure mobility between the different floors of the buildings.

The Bleichstraße / Bertramstraße campus is fully accessible for wheelchair users via the Bertramstraße entrance. Both buildings are accessible at ground level from the inner courtyard (two designated parking spaces for people with disabilities) through key-controlled doors that open by means of electric motors. The old building is accessible at ground level and the new building via a ramp. There are elevators in both buildings that enable access to all floors. Access to the 1st floor of the library in Bertramstraße is possible as follows: Take the elevator to the 1st floor, then go through the glass door on the right and ring the bell there.

The university buildings on the Unter den Eichen campus have improved accessibility for wheelchair users. The entrances to the buildings are sensor-controlled and there are elevators enabling access to all floors.

The campus of the Library of RheinMain University of Applied Sciences and the Land Hesse located on Rheinstraße is fully accessible from the public sidewalk. The building has a ground level entrance. Both a study room and the reading room are accessible by elevator. As the library is a listed building, fully accessible design is restricted due to the provisions of the preservation order.

Rüsselsheim Campus

The campus buildings Am Brückweg are fully accessible via a ramp and a sensor-controlled doors (buildings A, A1, A2, B, E, F, G). Elevators are available in buildings A and G.

 

The gradual implementation of further fully accessible structural features for people with visual and hearing impairments is currently being planned.
