Engineering Studio Engineering Studio Agricultural University of Athens – Accessibility App
The Agricultural University of Athens accessibility app was created with one primary purpose: to make it easier for people with disabilities to move around the university’s premises, while also keeping all users informed about announcements, staff, and more. Opening the app reveals a central menu of four sections — Map, Staff, Rooms, and Alert. The headline feature is the full campus map: the user picks the point they want to reach, and the app guides them there with spoken voice directions — a genuine accessibility companion, not just a static plan. The Staff section lists every member of university personnel, searchable and filterable by school or department, with a detail view per person. Rooms splits into Classrooms and Offices, again searchable in writing or by school and department. Alert puts an immediate phone line to the campus guard post one tap away in an emergency. A second menu surfaces school announcements, settings, version and terms information, school switching, and logout. Published on the App Store and Google Play and designed by Blind Studio, the app is backed by a complete management CMS that lets the university’s secretariat and administration keep every part of it current on their own.
A university-scale accessibility app whose first duty is to people with disabilities — voice-guided navigation around real premises — while also serving as a campus-wide directory, announcement channel, and emergency lifeline, all kept current by non-technical staff.
The primary goal is to help people with disabilities move around the campus. Voice-guided navigation, clear structure, and an accessibility-first interface had to be the foundation, not an afterthought.
Beyond showing a map, the app had to pick a destination and guide the user to it with spoken directions — usable by blind and low-vision users in the real environment.
Every staff member and every room (classrooms and offices) had to be browsable, searchable in writing, and filterable by school and department — with a detail view for each.
In an emergency, the user needed an immediate, one-tap phone line to the campus guard post — no menus to dig through.
A second menu had to carry school announcements, settings, version and terms, school switching, and logout — informing the wider user base alongside the accessibility core.
The university's secretariat and administration had to manage everything — map points, staff, rooms, announcements — without a developer in the loop.
A reliable app for both iOS and Android from one codebase, polished enough to ship to the App Store and Google Play.
A cross-platform mobile app with voice-guided campus navigation at its core, a searchable staff and rooms directory, an emergency alert line, and an announcements channel — backed by a complete management CMS, designed by Blind Studio and developed end to end by Kukarika.
A more inclusive, better-informed campus — people with disabilities get voice-guided navigation around the premises, every user gets directories and announcements, and an emergency line is always one tap away.
The AUA accessibility app was built first and foremost for people with disabilities — voice-guided navigation that turns the campus map into a genuine companion for moving around the premises — and grows from there into a campus-wide directory, announcement channel, and emergency lifeline.
Designed by Blind Studio and developed end to end by Kukarika, published on the App Store and Google Play and backed by a complete management CMS for the university's secretariat and administration, it makes the Agricultural University of Athens more accessible, better informed, and safer for everyone who passes through it.
