Summary: Are covered by this investigation the working conditions of teachers after reach the age
of 60 years old and the respect of their rights in its work environment, especially
regarding accessibility. Historically, institutions were not designed to receive audiences
with physical limitations, WHEREin most of the interventions fairly recent and mostly
directed to wheelchair users. The objective of the research was to analyze the
perception of the new elderly teachers about the physical facilities of the university and
its influence on the activities of the elderly professors. Therefore, we sought to answer
the following questions: How old are UFES professors? Does UFES have adequate physical facilities for elderly professors? What physical structures prevent the regular exercise by UFES elderly teachers? To answer these questions, a documentary research was conducted by collecting age data from UFES teachers, an on-site field research was carried out consisting of observation and photographic record of various university environments analyzing the presence of accessibility elements, a field research was also conducted in the form of structured interviews with elderly professors admitted in the last ten years about their perception of the accessibility of the elderly at UFES campuses in Vitória (Goiabeiras and Maruípe). At the end of the investigation, it was possible to verify that the physical structure of the university is not uniform in terms of accessibility, and to find several limiting structures of the work of the elderly professors. After the conclusion of the research, it was proceeded to elaborate a technical product indicative of measures which, adopted by the university administration, would be able to promote an adequate work environment for the elderly teachers of UFES.
