Overall Rating
Excellent
clean, accessible, built as a joint venture between the City of Worcester and its University, provides a great space with what I would regard as accessible loos, accessible lifts, helpful staff, banks of computers, photocopying facilities, and Im told they are working to make a lot of the academic texts needed for the students accessible in alternative formats for those who use assistive technology. Theres a room downstairs with video gaming equipment, a lecture/film theatre on site, often has art exhibitions, and the cafe is good, as are the opening hours. If you need to get your radar key or bus pass sorted out, the local city council "Hub" for consumers to organise stuff like that is onsite too. Im a chair user at the moment, havent been there myself in a chair, but lots of students here are chairusers and visually impaired, and it works. it really is accessible.
