Accessible pods are uniquely designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities or limited mobility. Compared to standard office pods or office phone booths, they feature wider entrances, step-free or ramped access, and ample internal turning space for wheelchairs. Unlike compact work pods or office phone booths that prioritise space efficiency, accessible pods prioritise manoeuvrability, comfort, and compliant control positioning. Meeting pods and booths are generally not designed with accessibility in mind unless specified, whereas accessible pods are specifically built to meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and Building Regulations Part M.

Yes. Many models are designed in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 and Building Regulations Part M, offering inclusive access features such as turning circles, grab handles, and accessible control heights.

These pods are suitable for wheelchair users, individuals with mobility impairments, neurodiverse users needing extra space, or anyone who benefits from more accessible, low-barrier environments for work or meetings.

Accessible pods are typically larger than standard models to allow for wheelchair turning space (usually 1500mm+ diameter clearance). Most are designed in 1 to 2 person sizes, but some models support up to 8 person meeting pods with full accessibility features.

No structural changes are needed. Accessible pods are freestanding and can be positioned near accessible routes or inclusive facilities. However, installation should ensure clear floor access and surrounding space for entry and exit.

Yes. Customisation options include fabric finishes, lighting levels, branding, colour schemes, and even acoustic performance. Accessibility features remain integral to the design—custom options are subject to manufacturer and model availability.

Many accessible pods are manufactured using sustainable materials such as FSC-certified timber, recycled acoustic panels, and low-VOC finishes. They often include energy-efficient lighting and long-lasting modular construction that reduces waste and supports circular design principles.

Accessible pods demonstrate a company’s commitment to inclusion, equality, and employee wellbeing—key pillars of Corporate Social Responsibility. By providing accessible, eco-conscious spaces, organisations also support ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) metrics and create visibly inclusive, future-ready workplaces.
