The interactive campus map now easily directs students and staff to these features, as well as accessible parking spaces, elevators, and ramps. The accessibility feature of the Campus Map is active online and on mobile devices.
In addition to accessible parking spaces, there are a few accessible parking spaces on campus that require a permit from CAR in order to park there. These permits are given to eligible CAR students. Here are the locations of the "CAR permit only" parking spaces:
- Ground Floor of Building 15
- Lot E outside of Building 19
- Outside of Building 9/10
The Center Building south elevator has been reprogrammed to operate freely between the second and third floors of the Library. Access at the first and fourth floors has been restricted to key-only. Previously, this elevator had been programmed for free access between the first and fourth floors and key-only access between the second and third floors. With this previous setting, a Library employee was required to use a key to unlock the elevator to help students with access between the second and third floors. Access between the first and fourth floors is still unrestricted in the north and west elevators.
