Physical Access Committee
Report an Access Barrier
Please use the Access Barrier Reporting Form to alert the PAC about any access barriers you encounter at OHSU. We appreciate your help in identifying areas that need our attention.
History and Purpose
Launched in 2006, the Physical Access Committee (PAC) is a state-statute required committee that reports its findings and recommendations to the OHSU Provost and OHSU Chief Diversity Officer. The PAC's priority is removal of barriers that prevent people with disabilities from meaningfully accessing campus facilities.
Many OHSU buildings existed long before the Americans with Disabilities Act was conceived, and the needs of people with disabilities were not always factored into building plans. Today, OHSU's mission and vision are imbued with a passion for ensuring that all people are welcomed and included. The PAC enjoys strong institutional support in its mission to eliminate barriers to access throughout OHSU, from patient care areas to research laboratories.
