The accessibility problem encountered in many public buildings due to the built environment is
also seen in educational buildings. This study is important in terms of evaluating the
accessibility of university buildings and their environments that have great importance in public
buildings, so that the education right, which is one of the fundamental rights and freedoms, can
be fully and completely enjoyed by disabled people like healthy people. Universities are
institutions that contribute to the social and cultural development of young people beyond their
educational, research and vocational functions. For this reason, university buildings and their
environments; should be equally accessible to all people, as it is an important socialization area,
as well as the right of disabled people to access information and acquire a profession. In this
article, Gazi University Education Faculty Buildings (Bosna&Hersek) in Ankara were chosen as
the study area and as the limitations of this study, the physically disabled, hearing impaired and
visually impaired people will be determined. The accessibility of the buildings environment and
entrances will be examined through the relevant inquiry forms which created by using
TS9111(2011) and TS12576(2012), and the existing incompatibilities will be determined, the
accessibility level of the building’s environment will be determined. Thanks to the observation
and examination to be made, it will be possible to contribute to the determination of the
arrangements to be made in order to improve the accessibility level of the selected area, as well
as to create a feedback for the designer.
