In order to shape Macau as a healthy city and a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure as well as to implement “Planeamento dos Serviços de Reabilitação da Região Administrativa Especial de Macau para o Próximo Decénio (2016–2025)”, the Government is determined to build Macau into a barrier-free city so as to facilitate the elderly, people with disabilities, general public and visitors. Regarding to the old guideline “Supressão de Barreiras Arquitectónicas”, the University has met the basic barrier-free requirements in design and construction. We are continuing to optimize barrier-free facilities in current campus and school buildings in accordance with the new guideline “Normas Arquitectónicas para a Concepção de Design Universal e Livre de Barreiras na RAEM”.  As for new buildings and facilities, they are designed and constructed in accordance to the new guideline so as to cater for the needs of different people.

After inspection, the University of Macau initially determined 11 major improvement items in our 2018-2021 accessibility optimization work plan (see list below).

Please refer to the below link for details of accessibility optimization work and will be updated when necessary.
