Accessible Built Environment Committee

Attend an upcoming ABEC meeting

ABEC meets remotely via Zoom on the second Tuesday of each month from 3-4:30pm

The Accessible Built Environment Committee welcomes students, staff, and members of the community to share their perspectives and experiences interacting with the College’s physical space. Individuals wishing to present information to the ABEC are invited to (1) send input electronically to the co-chairs to be shared with the members, or (2) make a three-minute presentation at a monthly meeting. Requests to be on the agenda must be made to the co-chairs a minimum of one week prior to the meeting date.

You can learn more about ABEC and review our meeting minutes on our Spaces page.
