The wheelchair ramp has an easy to use angle but is constructed with steel grill plates which cause a problem for people with visual impairments who use a white cane. The red carpet offers sufficient grip on the steel plates, and offers a good visual contrast with the environment. Our proposal is to extend the red carpet over the entire section of te ramp.
The bathroom which is located on the ground floor has good accessibility but lacks a decent sign. The size and ease of use for wheelchair users is questionable. Clear visual contrast strips are missing indoor aswell as on the door itself.
The glass emergency exit door has no decent visual sign which makes it hard to find. A clear visual contrast strip should be applied
The glass doors have no decent visual sign which make them hard to see. A clear visual contrast strip should be applied
The double doors make wheelchair acces easily possible, but the left door is caught in between 2 cuboards which makes it impossible to open.
The spatial simulated path trough the chairs and tables is massively obstructed by the gas heaters.
