Estudo de acessibilidade do bloco “C” da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná no Campus de Toledo

Abstract

This study has as intent to verify if the bathrooms, stairs, corridors and classrooms of Block “C” of Toledo’s Campus of the Federal Technological University of Paraná, meet the normative requirements of ABNT NBR 9050: 2015 - Accessibility to buildings, furniture, equipment and urban areas. The fact that accessibility and mobility is mandatory in public places, in this case an educational institution, for people with disabilities is the basis for this study. In terms of methodology, the environments were analyzed based on what the regulations recommend as location, signage, safety items and ergonomics for the bathrooms; dimensions, signaling elements and safety for the stairs; presence of tactile floor and anthropometric parameters of circulation and maneuver in the corridors; height of the controls and furniture required by the classroom regulations. After the realization of surveys, the dimensions were determined to update the campus building project, obtained through the institution's engineering department, in order to visualize the irregularities and provide the necessary improvements. In all the studied environments, items that need to be identified were identified, being the state of conservation of the tactile floor that most caught the attention. With the project surveys and site visits, irregular elements were identified as presented in this paper.
