Universal Access Capital Projects Working Group

Mandate

Established in Fall 2013, the Universal Access Capital Projects Working Group (UACP-WG) oversees the approval and execution of capital projects that enhance campus accessibility. These projects are inspired by  universal design principles and render McGill buildings and properties more accessible to McGill community members and visitors. 

Call for Proposals 

  • Applicants can submit proposals on a rolling basis
  • Proposals must be sponsored by a Dean or senior administrator of the given unit, the Office for Students with Disabilities, or a student society.

Submit a Proposal

Proposals are accepted on an ongoing basis. If you would like to submit a proposal, have questions, or require clarification on the process, please contact McGill's Accessibility Advisor, catherine.roy7 [at] mcgill.ca (Catherine Roy).

Project Selection Criteria

In order to be eligible for funding, projects must meet the definition of a capital project. Proposals requesting funding for equipment, furniture or other non-capital expenses are not eligible. The UACPWG will evaluate the project submissions on a rolling basis.

Projects are selected for funding through the working group based on: 

  • Their alignment with institutional goals tied to accessibility, equity, diversity and inclusion
  • The financial allocation available to the UACPWG (At present, the UACPWG has a 2M$ annual allocation for capital projects)

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.
