Access on Board (AOB)


Access on Board (AOB)?
The Access on Board committee will act as the disability justice project in the Facilities Commission. AOB focuses on improving the overall accessibility of campus through advocating for physical infrastructure improvements and digital tools/education. The committee will continue updating the UCLA MetaMap to outline accessible pathways on campus. Working closely with the Building Our Space committee, they will establish the Lily Shaw Disability Cultural Center, creating a safe, accessible and resource rich community for students with disabilities. In response to continued criticism of the BruinAccess Van, AOB will work intimately with UCLA Transportation and the Center for Accessible Education to provide safe and reliable forms of transportation for students with disabilities. Access on Board will also lead projects auditing academic buildings for the current status of hybrid modality infrastructure in classrooms and other items that will create a fully accessible, safe classroom environment, accounting for lighting, ventilation, etc. They may expand efforts to examine doorways, entrances, and signage of academic buildings to be accessible also. Lastly, the committee may examine accessible housing within their work. Potential tasks include researching the availability of ADA-compliant housing in Westwood and advocating for improved priority housing selection for students with disabilities on the Hill. The Access on Board Directors will oversee the initiative staff and plan committee meetings for staff members.
