METHODOLOGY FOR THE REMOVAL OF ARCHITECTURAL BARRIERS The following listing provides a prioritization methodology for the removal of architectural barriers on the University's Campuses in order to provide equal access to all its programs. The Committee for Removal of Architectural Barriers has established this priority system for the correction of architectural barriers. This committee is charged with the establishing the priorities for the removal of barriers as funding becomes available. The University recognizes the deficiencies indicated in the following survey sections and has prioritized the needs of each building and the exterior spaces of the campus within that survey. The Committee is charged with the difficult task of actually determining how the limited resources shall be spent. This Committee meets on a regular basis to address these issues and input from the campus and the public is always welcomed. Meeting times may be obtained by contacting "Equal Opportunity Programs" or the "Department of Facility Planning". The following criteria are listed in order of prioritization. In recognizing that some known barriers may be affected by more than one criteria, a weighted scaling should be applied in determining actual prioritization. I. LIFE SAFETY Life Safety concerns should be considered as the highest priority. Those barriers that present physical safety or security problems must be addressed first and with immediate action. This priority was established as the first priority, not to circumvent other code correction issues, but to address safety concerns that may be particular to individuals with disabilities. An example of this may concern providing lighting at a curb ramp where there is heavy night utilization, or relocating a Handicap Parking space off a heavy traffic street. II. PROGRAM ACCESSIBILITY Program Accessibility addresses all architectural barriers that prohibit access to an actual University program, activity or service. This prioritization is further enumerated by the following order of mission of the University. II.1 Academic Programs II.2 Patient Care Programs II.3 Academic Support Programs II.4 Student Services Programs II.5 Research Programs II.6 Auxiliary Programs The ADA addresses program accessibility as its chief goal, and we do also in addressing accessibility on the University's Campuses. IIb. WORKPLACE ACCESSIBILITY Along with Program Accessibility it is equally important to recognize the necessity of making the workplace equally accessible for all University Employees. The same prioritization by University mission as stated above would also apply to this category. III. PHYSICAL NEEDS This category is designated to address those physical needs that may hinder accessibility to University Programs. Recognizing that some architectural barriers effect the physical needs of the individual and thus may limit participation in various programs, activities and services. IV. PATHWAYS While programs may be considered accessible under various accessibility codes, quite often the pathways or accessible routes, and the identification of those routes, may hinder access. In considering this campus as a pedestrian oriented campus this problem can become acute and must be considered in establishing accessibility priorities. In addressing pathways the Committee on Architectural Barriers recognizes that pathways can influence accessibility addressed in priorities II and III above, and may require a higher priority need-rating in consideration of any accessibility issue. V. MAINTENANCE Many of our accessibility problems on our campuses are simply a result of lack of maintenance or general deterioration. In order to maintain accessibility these items must be addressed on a more regular basis. General communications about these items must be improved as with providing one central reporting unit, etc. Return to the Table of Contents

TRANSITION PLAN UP-DATE The University's Transition Plan is not a static document but is ever-changing and thus reflects the most current needs in providing program accessibility for the institution. The 1991 physical survey, by the Department of Facility Planning (DFP), of University facilities utilized The American National Standards for Buildings and Facilities "Providing Accessibility and Usability for Physically Handicapped People" [ANSI A117.1-1986] and the "Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards" [UFAS April 1, 1988]. Where the standards differed in application, generally, the most restrictive requirements were applied. A detailed report indicating accessibility of the University's approximately 200 buildings was generated using the previously noted guidelines. A copy of this report was given to the Physical Plant Department as a reference document to be used to correct accessibility deficiencies where remodeling of a facility was proposed. The UNM Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP) conducted the Self-evaluation study in 1992. The study indicated programs of the University that were not accessible. In some cases, corrections for program accessibility was a simple matter of establishing flexible scheduling within buildings for the programs or relocation of the program. In other cases, it was determined by the Committee for the Removal of Architectural Barriers that modifications to the facilities would be necessary to provide program accessibility. The Committee for the Removal of Architectural Barriers combined the results of the DFP building survey of 1991 and the EOP 1992 Self-evaluation findings to produce a list of buildings, in priority order, that require structural modifications for program accessibility compliance. This "Priority List" constituted the University's Transition Plan. The University of New Mexico has listed ADA projects as a first priority with the New Mexico Commission on Higher Education and through the Commission has requested funding from the New Mexico Legislature, beginning in 1990 and through the 1995 session, to address program accessibility issues. The State responded with $750,000 in 1994 and the University added $80,000 to the 1994 ADA Accessibility Project for a total of $830,000. These funds were committed for the correction of deficiencies as indicated on the "Priority List". In addition the University, through its ADA Fund Account, has expended and/or committed an additional $670,000 for accessibility projects on the Central, North & South Campuses from 1989 to 1995. Architectural projects to correct the defined accessibility deficiencies for the University's programs are dependent on available funding. The later release (after 1991) of the American With Disabilities "Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities" [ADAAG] and the American National Standards for Buildings and Facilities "Providing Accessibility and Usability for Physically Handicapped People" [ANSI A117.1-1992], which the State of New Mexico adopted, along with the findings of the UNM Equal Opportunity Programs Self-evaluation, has necessitated a re-survey of the University's buildings. The re-survey is first addressing accessibility issues in facilities that were already prioritized for program accessibility as indicated in the "Priority List". This re-survey is being conducted by the DFP and is utilizing the ANSI A117.1-1992 as the guideline and the SARA ADA computer program as the data entry complement. At the completion of the re-survey for buildings that are indicated as having program accessibility problems, the remainder of the University's buildings will be re-surveyed.
