Accessibility at the College of Wooster

Description:
This story concisely states the progressive history of architectural accessibility and proceeds to explores the current state of accessibility at the College of Wooster, focusing on the distribution of ADA-compliant systems across major public buildings. It centers on key areas of progress, such as the installation of automatic doors, while addressing challenges that hinder full inclusivity on campus. Through building-specific assessments, the piece advocates for continued improvements to ensure that all individuals, regardless of mobility, can independently access and navigate the campus.

I’m lying on the floor, surrounded by my physics and math related books, papers, journals, comic books, mangas, and my guitar. These represent the things I spend most of my time on, capturing how I often feel overwhelmed and sink into my this hobbies, to the point where I zone out of reality.

This is me on the rooftop of my house back in Ethiopia, on the day I left the country, which also happened to be my birthday. The traditional garment I’m wearing, called a ‘Gabi,’ was a gift from my aunt. Often associated with nobility, the Gabi symbolizes my pride in my ethnicity and the sticker represents my bloodline as a descendent of the Solomonic Dynasty. In the background, you can see the city where I grew up in, Addis Ababa.
