Four staircases. Three levels. Two roadways. One school entrance.

To get from Jeffs Road to this key Mission Heights Junior College entry point, students must navigate multiple level changes, drop-off lanes, and four flights of stairs.

For most students, this daily journey is manageable because they are fully sighted. But for students who are blind or have low vision, this route can feel overwhelming.

Haptix stepped in to make this challenging space and many others across the campus safer and more accessible for everyone, especially those with visual impairments.

To clearly mark hazards and guide students safely, we installed our TacStud Yellow polyurethane tactile indicators along the top and bottom of many staircases throughout the school and leading toward each road crossing. These tactile markers provide clear hazard identification that reduces the risk of incidents.

To prevent slips and highlight stair edges, we also installed DKR103 stair nosings with yellow carborundum inserts. These hard-wearing nosings deliver strong visual contrast and a durable anti-slip surface.

Upgrading educational environments is one of the most meaningful ways we can empower students with disabilities to navigate the world safely and independently.
