This research stems from the current concern of the Network of Inclusive Universities (REUNIPA) of the Council of Rectors of Panama (CRP) regarding the difficulties faced by the majority of the university student population (students, faculty, administrators, and visitors) regarding the large number of architectural barriers found in all higher education institutions. Specifically, those obstacles that impede the free and safe urban movement of people, especially those with some type of disability or reduced mobility. When users of these universities wish to enter the educational center from the main entrance, the nearest transportation stop, or from the educational center's own parking lot, all the way to the university lobby or reception. When this problem arose, technical proposals and alternatives were sought, aimed at raising awareness and training administrative staff, faculty, and students. With the objective of conducting a diagnosis of the physical and urban accessibility of universities in Panama, a pilot study was conducted to generate proposals for improvements to the buildings of 16 universities in the Capital City of Panama. For this reason, two technical tours were conducted as a research method, dividing the universities into two groups to visit all 16 universities. This allowed us not only to observe the state of these higher education institutions, but also to collect data directly from the field. Eighty percent of these universities have buildings surrounded by architectural barriers, visible to the entire academic population, most of whom were unaware of the regulations governing this matter. The results were subsequently analyzed and interpreted, and recommendations were made through technical sketches, accessible routes, informational signage, pedestrian crossings, and then designing the proposals in accordance with accessible and universal design regulations. This would address the problem of walkability and transform these universities into safe and accessible places for everyone.
