Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan. Note: Although a building may have suitable access, it is important that confirmation is sought that there are emergency evacuation procedures in place. Therefore, it will be necessary to contact your personal tutor/line manager or your host to enable the preparation of a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP). This will ensure that facilities and procedures are in place in the event of an emergency or that alternative locations are used.
While this document indicates some of rooms are unsuitable for wheelchair access, this assessment is based on building access and desk layouts remaining unchanged. Wheelchair access is possible to the Ground Floor and wheelchairs can be accommodated within the Ground Floor teaching rooms. This is of course dependant on the class occupancy numbers. The University Registry Office should have been informed of students attending classes within this building who may have disabilities, whether it be mobility, visual or hearing.
