About / Equity & Access / Accessibility
Providing accessibility in your workplace
We’re continuing to build our accessibility standards and resources. This includes commitments to both physical and digital accessibility.
Our digital accessibility covers website and other online resources. We strive to ensure resources are clear, adaptable, and aligned with global guidelines for contrast, size, and compatibility with text-to-voice readers.
Our physical workspace features a pedway network, barrier-free elevators, ample accessible parking, and connections to public transit, hotels, and major downtown destinations. Barrier-free access is available from our Duke and Barrington Street entrances, the Albemarle Street parkade, and the pedway system.
