Humanistic Care in Details—Application of Temporary Accessibility Facilities in the Winter Olympics

With the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics under the principle of "synchronous planning and implementation", the construction of the venues and the accessibility facilities in all competition venues has been completed synchronously.

The temporary accessible ramp with the largest scale for this Winter Olympics is located in the Winter Olympics Village, connecting the sunken plaza and the exit of reception center on the first floor with a connection height difference of 8m and a total of 180m in length. In accordance with the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics Accessibility Guidelines, the design of the temporary ramp solves the conflict of insufficient ground bearing capacity for setting up elevators and accessible flow lines in sunken plazas, without causing post-competition facility handling problems, perfectly reflecting the simplicity, green and efficiency of temporary structure.

In the Paralympic Games, athletes from all over the word have achieved their sports dreams with strong willpower, and showcased their optimistic and enterprising attitudes towards life, the dignity of equality and self-improvement, and the indomitable spirit, enabling people around the word to experience the unique charm of the Winter Paralympics.
