The University of Limerick is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive campus environment for students, staff and visitors of different abilities. Accessibility is embedded within campus planning, design and maintenance activities to ensure equitable access to university facilities, services and public spaces.

All University buildings provide a level-access entrance, supporting barrier-free access throughout the campus. UL also provides accessible lifts, accessible toilet facilities, a dedicated Changing Places facility, and 74 designated accessible parking spaces distributed across academic, residential, sporting and administrative locations. A number of external entrance doors have been retrofitted with push-button automatic access systems to further improve independent access for wheelchair users and individuals with mobility impairments.

The University's Changing Places facility was installed to support students and visitors with complex needs and includes a height-adjustable adult changing bench, ceiling-track hoist system, centrally located accessible toilet, privacy screen, and space for up to two assistants.

Comprehensive accessibility information for campus buildings, access routes, parking locations and facilities is publicly available, enabling users to plan journeys and identify suitable facilities in advance. Through ongoing investment in inclusive design and accessibility improvements, UL continues to remove barriers and promote full participation in university life for people of different abilities.
