Abstract
This research focuses on addressing the challenges faced by disabled individuals, particularly in the context of higher education buildings in Egypt. Despite the increasing percentage of disabilities in the country, many students with physical impairments are unable to join universities due to the lack of accessibility in campus buildings. The main difficulty is how to create an environment where diverse students with varying requirements, abilities, preferences, and moods can study the same curriculum simultaneously. The study aims to evaluate the accessibility of a specific campus, AASTMT, by comparing it with a successful example, Goldsmiths, University of London. The research identifies areas for improvement, outdoor elements such as outdoor obstacles, accessible parking, clear signage, easy entrances, curb ramps, pathways, and steps, and indoor elements such as insufficient accessible toilets, lifts, stairs, and fixed furniture hindering wheelchair users. The case study concludes that AASTMT is successful for 80% of the evaluated criteria. The research emphasizes the importance of implementing elements that facilitate independent movement for students with physical impairments
