Life Sciences student breaking down mobility barriers
It’s a simple map to help people with mobility problems navigate campus, and an award winner. Created by Life Sciences student Nick Schoenhoff, the Campus Accessibility Mapping Project, or CAMP, rates the pedestrian pathways of McMaster using a green-yellow-red code, based on their condition, steepness and other factors. Schoenhoff’s creation was judged a runner-up award in the Innovative Designs for Accessibility or IdeA competition, of the Council of Ontario Universities. He’s now working on an electronic version with the capacity to add live updates for intermittent barriers such as snow.
