BUILDING ACCESS for wheelchairs, strollers, or mobility-impaired:
- The Physical Science has a ground floor barrier-free entrance at its
north end (uphill end). The doors are manually operated and may be awkward
for an unassisted wheelchair user (sorry about that). Inside the building,
go past the red doorway labelled "Science Discovery Center" (it
leads to a stairway) and go along the main corridor. There is an elevator
just beyond the center of the building. Use it to get down to the basement
level where the Center is located. After getting out of the elevator in
the basement, turn right and go through three sets of doors (not automatic,
but pullable and pushable) to get to the entrance doors of the Center.
Alternatively, there is access directly to the basement corridor from the
loading zone, but that door may be locked, especially on Saturdays. It can
be opened temporarily by a staff member of the Center.
Restrooms
- Restrooms are large enough for a wheelchair (and a companion, if needed)
and have handrails.
