Exploring Accessibility with AccessAble at QUB
At Queen’s University Belfast, we are committed to making our campus and surrounding areas as accessible as possible for all students and staff. One fantastic tool that can support this is AccessAble—a game-changer for anyone looking to navigate university spaces and nearby venues with confidence.
What is AccessAble?
AccessAble is an incredibly detailed accessibility guide covering over 125,000 venues and businesses, including universities, restaurants, bars, hotels, and more. The platform allows users to check essential accessibility information before visiting, helping them plan their trips with ease.
For example, if you need to know about:
- Step-free access and ramps
- Automatic/push doors
- Reception desk heights and staffing
- Accessible toilets (including tap heights, pull cords, and space availability)
- Hearing loops and visual aids
- Parking and drop-off points
AccessAble provides all this and more, allowing users to feel reassured that facilities will meet their needs—or, at the very least, be informed of potential challenges in advance.
Why is AccessAble Useful for QUB Students and Staff?
QUB has partnered with AccessAble, meaning our university buildings are fully mapped on the platform. This is a huge advantage, particularly for students and staff with disabilities or long-term health conditions, ensuring they can confidently navigate campus spaces and Belfast more broadly.
