Mobility in Emergencies: Borrowing Wheelchairs for Short-Term Use on Campus

Mobility in Emergencies: Borrowing Wheelchairs for Short-Term Use on Campus 

The representative for employees with a disability has purchased wheelchairs that can from now on be borrowed for short-term use in emergencies. You can find them here: 

  • A5 Library
  • Schloss Ehrenhof
  • Schloss Schneckenhof
  • L1, 1 Room 017

These wheelchairs are intended to be used in emergencies to transport individuals who are injured or temporarily mobility-impaired on campus—for example to the occupational medical service. 

  • Please note: These wheelchairs are intended for short-term use only. They cannot be borrowed for long-term use.
  • After use, the wheelchair must be promptly returned to its place. 

Who can borrow a wheelchair?

Anyone can borrow a wheelchair if it is apparent and plausible that they acutely need one—regardless of whether they are a member of the university. However, they must need it for use on campus.

If you have any questions, please contact the office of the representative for employees with a disability.
