You can go anywhere in and near the building (including nearby buildings like BSB and UHall). Be creative!

If you make a video, you can narrate the 1-3 sentences rather than writing them out.

The postings could include a button that would read the recorded poster out loud. The posters could also include QR codes for people to scan on their phones that would include more interactive information.

If UIC could add more concrete on the sides so that people in wheelchairs could more easily slide up next to their peers on the bench that would be helpful.

Individuals with significant disabilities who may have difficulty reading can’t become familiar with what this precaution is indicating in the event of a fire or hazard. I believe this would be of great benefit for anyone who would need these kinds of accommodations.
