Before agreeing to the lease terms, our client commissioned us to provide a disabled access audit on the premises, due to the awkward layout. Although the university did not have any disabled staff or students, they were aware of the Equality Act (which replaced the Disability Discrimination Act in 2010).
As with all our access consultancy work, we examined the property for any issues that may cause problems for disabled people. Disabled people are often categorised as wheelchair users, but this is a complete misconception.
