This research aims to assess the elements of universal access in the external built environment of educational buildings at King Saud University, ensuring their efficacy in providing comfort and safety for users with mobility disabilities. The study employs a descriptive-analytical methodology, conducting field visits to various colleges within the university, including the College of Architecture and Planning, the College of Computer and Information Sciences, the College of Physical Education, and the College of Business Administration. These colleges were selected due to their representation of the latest designs and buildings within the university. The study involves conducting a field survey to identify barriers and issues related to universal access and comparing the observations with the standards outlined in the Guide for Universal Access to the Built Environment. Additionally, the study includes photographic documentation of various elements in the built environment of the research area. Upon review and analysis, it was found that many buildings and facilities at the university do not comply with the established standards for accessibility for individuals with disabilities. This lack of compliance is partly attributed to insufficient regulations governing the implementation of these standards and potential negligence during execution and follow-up. Overall, it is evident that the buildings and facilities at the university lack adherence to universal access standards, highlighting the need for reforms and improvements to ensure an appropriate environment for all users. The research concludes with several recommendations, including the necessity of developing a regulatory guide following a thorough study of the current state of educational buildings, identifying existing gaps, and providing solutions for issues that cannot be addressed in existing structures. It also recommends enforcing the application of these standards after granting universal access centers within educational buildings the authority to oversee compliance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
