Accessibility

UofT and OSM Classrooms

All new buildings (like Leslie Dan Pharmacy or the Bahen Center) are built to modern code and have proper wheelchair access, elevators and accessible stations in classrooms. A number of our historic buildings (like Convocation Hall) have many stairs and lack elevators. OSM and the University have worked hard to make modern accessibility possible in these spaces, but not all buildings and rooms can be made properly accessible. Please contact OSM if you have specific needs for using any of our spaces.

OSM Rooms

See Room Descriptions. Rooms rated 'wheelchair accessible' are on the ground floor or have elevator access.

Furniture

OSM has worked in conjunction with Accessibility Services to provide ergonomic furniture for classrooms for persons with specific physical needs. Contact Accessibility Services to inquire about having these special furnishings provided for specific students or instructors.

We (OSM and Accessibility services) tested over a dozen chairs and several tables and best performing chair was, by a landslide, the Steelcase Leap. It has the best adjustable arms in the industry, reasonably easy to use controls, and adequate lumbar support and tilt-lock. The best non-powered height adjustable table was clearly the Steelcase Airtouch, which has a simple squeeze-tab raise/lower mechanism.

Accessible Stations

The University standard for accessible stations is a space 3' wide by 5' deep that can be reached via level floor or ramp. However - due to the varying ages of the rooms/buildings, not all rooms/stations meet this standard. Check the room floorplan available in Room Descriptions or check with the department/faculty for more detail on spaces particular class.

In most rooms with fixed or loose tables, the accessible stations have tables but no seating. In lecture halls with tablet arms, accessible stations are typically open with no furniture.
