Entry 4: 1st GROUP ASSIGNMENT.
Hi. I’m back. Well, guess what? We are assigned with a new assignment, and it’s a group work. This time we will be examining the accessibility and facilities for disable students in our campus. We were gathered in a group of 6 consisting of me, Aida, Joji, Fatin, Aina and Aziemah. So the 6 of us were task to do research and evaluation about facilities in our faculty whether it is suitable with disable students or it’s the opposite of that. Our lecturer let us go out for an hour for us to examine the whole faculty and detect the lack in providing disable friendly environment and to point out any features that holds up to disable peoples.
As of then, we listed out the features and facilities that we think is necessary for a faculty to have in order to provide a disable friendly environment. For quick example, a flat disabled pathway for the usage of people with walking disability, braille code at elevator’s button and so on. We then take a very detailed look outside of the class since walk throughout whole CS2 and CS1 building and then we are back to CS2. There are so many lacking parts in the faculty that may bring harms to disabled people since the facilities are definitely not disable friendly at all. Even as an individual who are perfect in all 5 sense, we get that we also have problems with the facilities. In short, the facilities are mostly uncomfortable for the usage either disabled people or even normal people.
Let me tells you how does the facilities in CS2 building works. So yeah, we have the foyer in front of the main entrance, and first of all, the main entrance is not disabled friendly since for people with wheelchair as there is no disabled pathway for them and they will have a hard time in getting their wheelchair passing the higher floor to enter the building. After that, there are a lift provided to go to upper level, but the lift is so small that it could fit only one person with wheelchair at a time. On top of that, the person can’t even turn their wheelchair to face the door lift because the space was too small that they can even barely move their wheelchair. There’s a disabled pathway to go down the hallway but the pathway is too steep and it is very dangerous for people with walking disability and wheelchairs since they might go down too fast without any safety around them.
For CS1, we have a 4 level twin buildings which are connected at level 2 and 3. At the main building, we have a foyer and most of the class for the students are mainly located at CS1. The major problem is, there is no alternative for people with walking disability to go to the class at higher level at all. There is no pathway made for disable students all around the building. There is a lift located at level 1 of the building, but to go to the lift, students will have to go up by stairs through the foyer and then another stairs before they can even meet the lift’s buttons. How hard must it be for a student with disability to continue and pursue their studies when the facilities for them are very limited?
So from our evaluation and research, we come up with ideas on how to improve the facilities in the faculty to make it more disabled friendly and gives hopes to the students with disability. We did some research on how does other countries applies disabled friendly environment in their campus, and surprisingly there are a lot of institutional that are concerns about these kind of students. Therefore, we did some editing and point out the places that are in need for renovation so that these students can be more ease at heart every time they go to their class. No more worrying about the difficulties to even get themselves sitting in the class on time with their lacking in ability.
This assignment really helps me and my classmates realize on how important it is for us to be concern about other people who didn’t share the gift that we have, and for us to be grateful to be born with all senses completely. Disabled people have the same desire like us, the normal people to learn, to study and to excel in their life so why not we make it a better place for them? This subject really teach me a lot of things, not just how to be creative, but how critical thinking and creativity makes us a better person in considering others who are lacking. With this assignment ended, I just hope that this assignment will be keep used as a fix assignment so that our generation will know on how important it is to be critical about things around you.

Love, Bell 슈아.
