About the survey:
Because of the age of buildings and the size of the University, the work to reduce barriers and increase accessibility is expected to take place over several years. By completing the anonymous survey, you can help to identify needs and priorities. The information collected from this survey will help shape plans and priorities for improvements to the physical environment at York. A final report for the University will also be prepared by IRIS. Whether you consider yourself as someone who experiences disabilities or not, it is important for us to hear from everyone. The results of this survey will remain anonymous.
IRIS is an interdisciplinary research centre dedicated to pursuing multifaceted approaches to the contemporary challenges of sustainability. It is a focal point for sustainability-related research and action in all 10 of York’s Faculties. Through collaborative and interdisciplinary research, IRIS strives to push beyond traditional research methods to tackle real-world challenges with unique solutions.
