Guidelines for applying adjustment of dormitories on medical grounds

Accessible Apartments for Students with Disabilities

Within the Technion dormitories, there are several apartments that are accessible for students with disabilities. These apartments include accessible pathways to the apartment, including parking spots for disabled people in all zones, accessible rooms (including bedrooms, bathrooms, and showers), as well as a setup that allows individuals to freely move throughout the apartment.

These apartments are located in the Mizrach Hadash (New East) Dormitories, the Kfar HaSmacha (Undergraduate Village) Dormitories, the Broshim Dormitories and the Kfar HaMishtalmim (Graduate Student Village) Dormitories.

Students who are in need of an accessible apartment should contact the Dormitory Office (preferably during the dormitory registration periods) and attach the relevant documentation.
