SDG 10.6.7 Accessible facilities
1. The establishment of accessible facilities on our campus
NCUE places considerable emphasis on building a campus environment with accessible facilities. The buildings and campus facilities are inspected and improved in accordance with accessibility regulations, while millions of dollars are spent annually to improve the accessible facilities. The total amount spent on the improvement of accessible facilities has reached NTD$153,292,100, providing numerous accessible facilities on campus. There are 23 major buildings on the campus, each of which is equipped with accessible elevators and accessible toilets, with a 100% installation rate, and a summary of these facilities are shown in Table 1. From 2022 to 2025, nearly NTD$60 million in funding has been secured to improve accessible ramps, guide facilities, and accessible stair handrails in the buildings are set according to accessibility regulations. The status of accessible facilities is shown in Figures 1-8.

2. Accessible facilities in the dormitories of NCUE
There are seven dormitories on campus, and the allocation of rooms for students with disabilities at each dormitory is detailed in Table 3, with a maximum capacity of 3,300 students. Among the dormitories, NCUE have 31 accessible bedrooms that can accommodate 68 students with disabilities. Students with disabilities are entitled to discounts on tuition and miscellaneous fees, while their dormitory accommodation is guaranteed. They may be allocated to accessible dormitories according to their physical and mental conditions. The spatial environment inside the dormitory rooms and bathroom facilities are illustrated in Figures 9-10.

3. Maintaining Lighting Equipment to Establish a Safe Campus Environment
NCUE is gradually replacing T5 lighting fixtures with LED lights in all campus buildings, at a rate of at least 500 units per year. For new buildings and when replacing old fixtures, LED energy-saving lights are being installed. In public areas of the campus, lighting fixtures are being changed to motion-sensor types or equipped with timers. This not only improves energy efficiency but also enhances the safety of public spaces on campus.
