I work at a university and recently registered myself with the disability support office.

I have requested a quiet place to work because it's open plan and people around me make too much noise, which makes me stressed. 

My supervisor has spoken to 'relevant people' and they said they can offer me a seat in the student office (no better), or in a completely different building.

Do they really expect me to go and work in another building? Where I'm completely separate from my team / laboratory? Why can't they provide a quiet space to work in the institute where I work? Aren't they obliged to provide that? 

Various people here have already mistreated me, leading to isolation. It just seems really ignorant.

  • Sounds like a question for a union? So that you know your rights?

    Maybe the other building isn't too bad, like @Zomted said. As far as I know from experience, universities don't have a lot of spare space for employees, so it might be the best they can do.

    It might be too much to ask to AND be with your team AND be by yourself. Like the cake and the eating thing. Depending in the spacing situation.
