Accessible Furniture

The Disability Resource Center places ergonomic furniture in classrooms for students. This is an important accommodation to ensure equal access for students with certain types of disabilities.

For Students

We recommend you enter your service requests for accessible furniture at least one week before classes begin to ensure that it will be available to you on the first day of class.

When accessible furniture is placed and confirmed, you will receive an email that notifies you of the  specific furniture checked out to you. If questions come up about who is eligible to use the DRC furniture, you can use this email to confirm you are the person to whom the furniture is assigned.

DRC accessible furniture is placed in PSU classrooms and on-campus internship spaces only. 

Identifying DRC Accessible Furniture

DRC accessible furniture will always have a red label with an identification number and the following text: "Property of Disability Resource Center. Do not remove from this room."

DRC accessible furniture will also have a label that identifies it as furniture placed for students. It will have a purple box with the following text: "Adjustable furniture for students. Do not move or remove."

 
Accessible furniture for faculty is sometimes placed in classrooms. It will have a different label with a teal box with the following text: "Accessible furniture for faculty. Do not move or remove." Faculty who need accessible furniture in their classrooms should contact Human Resources at 503-725-4926.
