with the minimum clear width of 1800mm. Length of a ramp must be in the range of 600mm to 1200mm and the maximum rise is 215mm. Hence, a user-friendly slope should be provided.

Handrails must be fitted on ramps with certain specification for comfort and safety of the users, which the girth of the handrail (ukurlilit) is 40mm to 50mm and the height of handrails is 3 feet (or 900mm).

Route to the Toilet Near in the Grand Hall

Issues•no accessible toilet provided for the disabled people.

•stairs designed are not easily accessible for the disabled people because the rise of the stairs is too high for them to climb.

Suggestions According to MBPJ requirement, height of a riser should not exceed 180mm and minimum tread is 300mm. After every two-meter height, there should be a landing area of 1200mm x 2000mm with handrail provided.

Accessible Toilets located outside the grand hall.

Issues•There are two accessible toilets for the disabled people located on the both sides of the external of Grand Hall. •No proper walkway for the disabled people to access to the accessible toilets•The travel distance from the interior of the Grand Hall to the accessible toilets are far. •Ramps are provided for the wheelchair users to mobilize themselves to the toilet, but with no handrails and barriers for safety concern.

Suggestions:

•Proper stairways should be designed to accommodate the people with disabilities, such as the elderly, pregnant women and those who are ill.•Handrails should be fitted along with the kerb to assist people with disabilities.

ISSUE

ConclusionThere were noticeable aspects that showed lack of

consideration for disabled users in the design of the Grand Hall, in terms of facilities, accessibilities and circulation. The lack of concern probably due to there isn't much of a demand and misunderstanding of the term "universal design". People with disabilities are not limited to those who are visually impaired, or on wheelchair, they could be anyone who are pregnant, ill, deaf or elderly. Thus, promoting the universal design concept should be prioritize and proper guidelines and regulations should be available to all parties for successful implementation. Moreover, the importance of raising awareness and understanding among architects and technicians should not be neglected, especially the younger generation.
