Framework Plan for Barrier-free Design and Sign System

In 2008, the Framework Plan for Barrier-free Design and Sign System was developed as a subsidiary guideline to the Campus Master Plan. The framework is composed of three sections: barrier-free accessibility guidelines, signage planning guidelines, and guidelines for the naming and labeling of buildings and facilities. Together, they outline the key principles for ensuring accessibility across the campus.
The Framework has since been updated and the current 2026 edition reflects changes in the campus environment and revisions to relevant legislation.
Our goal is to develop a clear, accessible, and genuinely inclusive campus where everyone can move about and use facilities with confidence. The framework is intended to serve a diverse community, including older adults, children, people with physical, visual, or hearing disabilities, and individuals facing language barriers such as international visitors, as well as users traveling by foot, bicycle, wheelchair, or motor vehicle.
