Access Information

Summary

Using the elevator is awkward, due to security measures. Plan for delay in obtaining materials from the lower level.

Parking

Building and Library entrance
An elaborate ramp provides access to the building. The library is just inside the main entrance, down another good ramp and through two-way swing security gates. All of the doors are automatic.

Elevator
The lower level is served by a good elevator. To use it, request a key from the staff at the Information Desk.

Several of the Library Web computers are at table height.

Photocopiers
Regular photocopiers are on the main level.

Public telephones
Public telephones are outside the building (standard height, near outlets).
