Education should be accessible to every student. Whether it's navigating the campus, joining a sports event, or attending a graduation ceremony, outdoor surfaces like grass, gravel, or sand often pose challenges—especially for those with limited mobility. That’s where Mobi-mat® comes in: a simple, portable, and sustainable solution designed to transform difficult terrains into inclusive, accessible spaces.
Removing Outdoor Barriers to Campus Accessibility
Schools, colleges, and universities typically have large outdoor spaces: parks, sports fields, gardens, relaxation areas, temporary parking lots during major events, etc. While these places are essential for student life, they can present real obstacles for people in wheelchairs, those using crutches, or anyone needing a stable and non-slip surface.
Beyond regulatory compliance (adherence to ADA/ABA/AODA accessibility standards), facilitating access is also a moral and social duty. An institution that cares for the inclusion and well-being of its students and staff strengthens its image and ensures everyone has the same opportunities to fully participate in campus life.
Fast, Flexible, and Reliable: Why Mobi-mat® Stands Out
Mobi-mat® is a portable, modular, and non-slip access mat that rolls out directly onto various surfaces (grass, gravel, sand, mud, etc.). Designed to optimize mobility for wheelchair users or those with difficulty moving, the mat offers several advantages:
- Quick and easy installation
- It easily rolls out over the area to be covered (park, temporary parking, lawn, etc.).
- Anchoring is done using stakes and clips provided with the mat, ensuring excellent stability even on the most challenging terrains.
- Our mats connect to each other through their connectors, allowing you to adapt their length or shape to each need.
- Safety and durability
- Its non-slip surface greatly reduces the risk of falls and facilitates movement in wheelchairs or with walking aids.
- Made from durable materials ( recycled/recyclable), Mobi-mat® is resistant to degradation and corrosion.
- It can be quickly cleaned and easily stored once rolled up.
- Adaptability to different events
- Official ceremonies and graduation: creation of stable aisles to access the stage or bleachers.
- Open houses: temporary setup of routes to accommodate large numbers of visitors and facilitate orientation.
- Sporting events: access to areas around sports fields for spectators with reduced mobility.
- Outdoor educational activities: setting up secure paths for educational or festive projects, for example in the courtyard or on the lawn.
- Customization options
- The Mobi-mat® can be ordered with a custom logo or visual, providing a communication medium for the institution or potential sponsors.
- Available widths and lengths can vary, allowing precise adjustment of the solution according to the terrain configuration.
Versatile Applications That Benefit Every Student
- Access to sports fields: by installing Mobi-mat® around an outdoor stadium or gymnasium, you create an accessible path for everyone, avoiding mud and movement difficulties.
- Outdoor ceremony areas: for events such as official speeches or end-of-year celebrations, Mobi-mat® provides comfortable access for people with reduced mobility, even when the ground is wet or uneven.
- Temporary parking: during high attendance (conferences, large academic meetings), this mat serves to mark out and stabilize parking areas, also allowing wheelchair users to safely exit their vehicles.
- Educational spaces: outdoor science workshops, recreational or cultural paths, experimental sites, etc. The temporary installation of a Mobi-mat® facilitates circulation for all students, regardless of the terrain.
Committed to Sustainability and Inclusion
In addition to offering a reliable and secure solution, Mobi-mat® is made from recycled and recyclable materials, reducing the ecological footprint of your facilities. This eco-responsible approach aligns with the values that many schools and universities wish to convey to their students: respect for the environment and sustainability.
On the social front, accessibility remains one of the pillars of inclusion. By integrating Mobi-mat® into their outdoor spaces, educational institutions demonstrate their commitment to supporting all their students, whether temporarily or permanently disabled, and to providing an environment where everyone finds their place.
In practice: a win-win investment
- Easy to store: once events are over, simply roll up and store Mobi-mat® in a dedicated storage space or container.
- Reusable season after season: this mat can be used for end-of-year celebrations, back-to-school events, fairs, and sporting events, without requiring extensive setup each time.
- Enhancement of the institution's image: an accessible campus also reflects the image of a committed school or university that values respect and equality for all.
Some additional accessories, such as the Mobi-roller™, help facilitate the setup and storage of the mat, offering considerable time savings for technical teams in charge of installations.
Conclusion
For schools, colleges, and universities committed to creating an inclusive and functional environment, Mobi-mat® is the ideal solution. Easy to install, durable, and environmentally friendly, this portable access mat significantly improves mobility in all outdoor campus areas.
By choosing Mobi-mat®, you offer your students, their families, and the entire educational community the opportunity to fully enjoy outdoor spaces without worrying about unstable or slippery surfaces. This choice is both practical and aligned with strong values, enabling your institution to reach new heights in excellence and inclusion.
