Visit one of Umeå University’s four campuses and discover the inspiring environs that our students and staff enjoy every day.
We want our campus to be welcoming to everyone, so we will always strive to ensure a high level of accessibility for students, employees and visitors. Both indoors and outdoors, various aids are available to improve physical accessibility.
Premises
The University’s premises are accessible. Throughout our campuses, you will find elevators, ramps and automatic doors. All Campus Umeå lecture halls, and some regular classrooms, have automatic doors and designated wheelchair spaces on the front row.
Digital map
Use the digital map service to help you easily navigate the premises on Campus Umeå, Campus NUS and Umeå Arts Campus. Find your lecture hall, bookable group study rooms, lunch room or nearest café. The map provides directions to your desired outdoor and indoor destination. When choosing a route, the system allows you to specify if you want to avoid staircases and obstacles. The map also indicates where accessible toilets and resting rooms are located.
The map can be used on a computer web browser or via an app on your smartphone.
Accessible parking
Accessible parking is available close to most main entrances and is free of charge. Accessible parking on Campus Umeå and Umeå Arts Campus is also marked on the digital maps.
Fragrance and perfume
When visiting our campuses, we urge you to avoid wearing strong scents, such as perfumes and aftershaves. Show consideration for people suffering from allergies and fragrance hypersensitivity, as they can suffer adverse reactions to strong scents. Umeå University only uses perfume-free cleaning products.
Non-smoking area
Smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes, is prohibited in all indoor premises, at entrances and in other public areas. Smoking may only take place in designated outdoor areas. Please note that the area around the Campus Pond on Campus Umeå is also a non-smoking area.
Hearing loops and guided assistance
Fixed hearing loops are available in all university lecture halls and in some of Umeå University’s bookable premises. A map in premises with hearing loops indicates what parts of the room have best reception. Guided assistance can be offered for free to students with impaired vision.
