Handicapped
gaining more
accessibility
iy DEN I SWIFT
staff writer
Renovations will begin in November on the southwest
:orridor of the Russell House to make it more accessible
:o handicapped students, said Ed Bass, assistant vice
Dresident of Facilities Planning.
The passageway, which leads to Student Services, goes
hrough the mechanical equipment room to the Carolina
Vlall. To protect the equipment and the students, a fence
will be installed to enclose the area.
Other changes include substituting fluorescent lights
for incandescent lights and repainting the corridor.
Bass said the renovations should be completed by
rhanksgiving and estimated the cost to be under $10,000.
The improvements will also improve security in the corridor,
Bass said. The passageway is currently restricted
and must be unlocked for students to pass through.
"We wanted access restricted because pranksters could
:ome in and mess with the equipment," Bass said. "After
the renovations, the door will be left unlocked since the
equipment will be protected."
The corridor renovation is just one small improvement
in the larger accessibility problem of handicapped
students at USC, one student said.
Bob Brown, a second semester sophomore in the College
of Business, said USC is still not as accesssible as it
:ould be.
"We're working on getting electric eye doors installed
in more buildings," particularly Gambrell Hall and the
Sloan arts building, Brown said.
"All undergraduates use Gambrell a lot, and no one
knows what it's like to sit outside in the cold rain and wait
for someone to open the door," Brown said.
As far as the arts building is concerned, Brown said he
would like to see accommodations beyond that which is
considered reasonable by law.
Campus buildings should replicate the ideal accessibility
of Petigru, with its large, slow elevators and electric
doors, he said.
In the early 1970s, government regulations came into
effect requiring that all buildings be accessible to the handicapped,
not just people in wheelchairs but anyone with
any disability.
USC's response to the legislation was to set up the
President's Handicapped Advisory Committee, which
makes institutions aware of inaccessible places. Since
then, the committee has been meeting to discuss and
alleviate such problems.
"We are constantly thinking about how a person can
get to, say, tne coliseum or to tootoau games, committee
Chairman David Phillips said.
The fruits of the committee's labor range from installing
electric eye doors in Petigru and Russell House and
providing buses for wheelchairs to installing and
renovating handicapped restrooms and providing a map
of the campus which shows anyone with a disability exactly
how to get around barriers and find accesses.
"We know you can't get to every floor, but we try to
make all the programs at USC accessible," Bass said.
Facilities Planning will undertake another project involving
the Russell House. The project will involve
creating a wheelchair-accessible path to the offices of the
lower west wing. Currently, wheelchairs cannot get in,
Bass said.
A lengthy process delays the changes being made on the
campus, he said. Small jobs, such as the path for the
Russell House, don't require approval so Facilities Planning
undertakes them.
The biggest problem is funding, unless the job is small,
but even the small things add up so jobs have to be considered
on a priority basis, Bass said.
