Universities face dual obligations — ADA Title II for public institutions and Section 504 for all institutions receiving federal funding. Pathfinder gives you the survey data and documentation to stay compliant and welcoming to every student.
Campus accessibility is complex — buildings range from 1900s lecture halls to modern research labs, and PROW connects it all. Pathfinder surveys both worlds.
Harvard engaged Pathfinder to conduct a comprehensive interior accessibility survey across their Cambridge campus — covering administrative buildings, academic facilities, libraries, and common spaces.
Any institution receiving federal financial assistance must ensure program accessibility — which means having a current self-evaluation, a transition plan if you have barriers, and a grievance procedure.
Pathfinder's survey serves as your Section 504 self-evaluation — the first required step under 28 CFR Part 35.
The Playbook™ becomes your living Section 504 transition plan — automatically updated as you remediate barriers.
Briefcase™ exports the full compliance record for OCR reviews, accreditation submissions, or federal audits.
Classrooms, labs, restrooms, offices, and common areas — every interior accessibility element captured.
Accessible routes between buildings, curb ramps, and pedestrian connections across campus.
Interactive GIS map of all accessible routes, compliant entrances, and accessible parking.
The Playbook™ — your living, OCR-defensible Section 504 compliance plan.
