Accessibility of the MF building

Practical information about the MF building for students with impaired mobility.

Parking 

There are up to five parking spaces for those with impaired mobility by the main entrance. It is possible to apply for a permanent parking space for one semester at a time if you have a municipal parking permit. The application for the MF parking permit can be found here (deadline: September 1st/February 1st). 

Entrance/doors

All doors open according to a prescribed width, and there are no tall thresholds in the building. There are automatic door openers by the main entrance and the door to the library. 

Students who use a wheelchair may, according to a special agreement, be given a key card to the side entrance and elevator. 

Elevator

There are two elevators in the building. The main elevator is 110 x 160 cm. The door’s opening width is 91 cm. The side elevator is 112 x 189 cm, and the door’s opening width is 90 cm. Both elevators have sensitive and low-hanging buttons, with tactile writing on the floor buttons on both the inside and the outside. 

Toilet for the mobility impaired

There are two handicap toilets in the building which can be reached by elevator. One is localized on the ground floor basement, and one on the fourth floor.

Lecture rooms

All rooms are accessible by elevator.  There is an induction loop system in the largest and most-used auditorium (Aud 1). A map of where best to sit in relation to the inductive loop system can be found on a pole by the auditorium entrance. 

In case of fire/evacuation 

MF has assigned fire duties to selected staff who are responsible for different sections of the building in the case of fire. The staff responsible will make sure that these sections are emptied in case of fire.

Students who are either using a wheelchair or are dependent on a lift, are obliged to register their presence at the reception in the 1st floor upon arrival as well as when leaving the building. This is due to evacuation routines. Students with special needs can request an individual plan in case of evacuation of the building. Please contact Nadia Sand in order to assess your needs.
