Access gets a lift

The visually stunning new central campus access lift, located adjacent to the Staff Club, was officially opened last month by the Hon. Jay Weatherill, Minister for Disability.

The lift is a key milestone in the University's Disability Action Plan, its ability to meet the requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1993 and its commitment to providing universal access for all students, staff and visitors.

The previous route for physically disabled people was circuitous and even more difficult after hours. The new lift provides a 24-hour simple, clear and highly visible route through different levels across the campus.
