The purpose of this project was to assess the accessibility of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI)’s Panama City Project Center and to offer recommendations for improvements. Through archival research, interviews, surveys, observational studies, and personal auto-ethnographies, we accomplished our objectives and research targets. We provided the Project Center Director with a comprehensive list of available accommodations and alternatives, an infographic addressing common student questions, and photographs for publication on the Panama City Project Center eProjects page and website.
