Accessibility of the university buildings

Routes for persons with motor disabilities

Venice is normally considered to be an ‘architectural barrier’ as a whole and thus a hardly accessible town to persons with disabilities. Actually the town’s accessibility is better than one could imagine due to the public transport service and the works carried out by the municipality. As a matter of fact, 15 university buildings out of the 27 checked can be reached without any special aids!

The fact is that only few know it. The following files aim to disseminate any necessary information about Venice accessibility, especially about the routes by which people with a motor impairment, reduced motor abilities or necessarily using a wheelchair can get to the various university buildings avoiding bridges whenever it is possible.

For an interactive map with routes for getting to each university building from Piazzale Roma (bus station and car parking terminal), from “Venice Santa Lucia” train station or without architectural barriers, please click on the following link: www.unive.it/maps [Italian webpage].

Here below are the route descriptions and the detailed maps [in Italian only] to get to the main university buildings without architectural barriers. For the legend of symbols please read the general description of Ca’ Foscari accessibility.
