Support for students and staff with disabilities: Assistive Technology

There are networked computers on all floors of the Library and the entire building is wireless-enabled. Students registered with the Disability Service may also be able to borrow equipment such as a laptop, audio recorder or visualiser, for short or longer term loan. All computers and laptops have a range of assistive software installed, including speech-to-text, mind mapping and screen-reading utilities available to all students.  

The Library in collaboration with the Assistive Technology Team have opened Assistive Technology Rooms for students:

• Room 2.10b
• Room 2.10c

You can find these spaces at the back of Level 2 of the Library.

Both rooms are equipped with:

• Automatic doors (requiring your library card for access)
• Ergonomic workstations with height adjustable desks and ergonomic chairs
• Computers with position adjustable, standard or touchscreen monitors and Assistive Technology Software
• Networked, low level colour printers/scanners
• Additional space for students wishing to use their own laptops
• Dimmable lights
• Whiteboards

In Room 2.10b, students can additionally access:

• A Braille Embosser,
• An electronic magnifier
• A Projector
• Room Access

You can request access to the AT Room by contacting the University’s Disability Service, emailing disabilityadvice@bath.ac.uk or calling 01225 383838.

If you are a student or member of staff and you feel you need access to the room, but you do not have a disability or a medical condition and have other reasons why you need access, please contact the Assistive Technology Team via the Self Service Portal.

Book your space
Please make sure you book your space via the University bookable study space system. If you require a carer or support worker’s assistance, we encourage you to use room 2.10b.
