LSE DisabledGo
In February 2016, the School confirmed that it would fund DisabledGo to produce fine-grain, pan-disability access guides to the School’s buildings (including the residences), good practice guides that will inform ongoing estates developments, route maps between buildings, and an Apple/Android app.
It is intended that the access guides will be in place for the start of the 2016-17 academic year. The good practice guides, which DisabledGo will produce as part of this work, will support us in being proactive, at a time when the LSE estate is undergoing major physical change.
