Kane Hall Accessibility Survey
• Our survey of Kane Hall is founded on the “Facility Checklist” worksheet
• Survey took place on May 1, 2007
• Survey was conducted during normal building hours between 14:00-16:00
• Questions on ADA building practices were addressed by referencing a professional interior designer and an ADA text
![Page 7: Law, Societies and Justice 332 May 22, 2007 Group Two April Monastrial Carolyn Thayer Corrina Emerick James Malone Leisl Bauman Megan Hanse Kane Hall Architectural.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cd85503460f949a0d32/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Kane Hall Accessibility Overview
• Kane Hall meets most though not all ADA requirements
• Most requirements are met at minimum level
• For such a large and central building, Kane is not nearly accessible enough
• Remodeling projects in Kane have failed to rectify many major problems
• Many problems are not necessarily specific to Kane Hall
![Page 8: Law, Societies and Justice 332 May 22, 2007 Group Two April Monastrial Carolyn Thayer Corrina Emerick James Malone Leisl Bauman Megan Hanse Kane Hall Architectural.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cd85503460f949a0d32/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cultural Construction of Disability through Kane Hall
• Kane Hall is created with able-bodies individuals in mind; persons with disabilities have been “retrofitted” into the building as needed
• As Mutua observes, accessibility and spontaneity are almost inversely related; in Kane Hall one must follow a very rigid and set path
• Therefore, we must question why Kane is constructed in such a way - surely it seems not to be out of consideration for individuals with disabilities
• Most accessible areas are in the basement of Kane Hall; this puts individuals with disabilities outside of the public sphere into a less visited place
• Accessibility features and devices are often camouflaged which makes them harder to see as distinct from the environment
• If disability is culturally constructed, what can we say about only doing the bare minimum as required by law?
