CIRCULATION:

• Dwinelle Hall is two connected buildings. The only connecting corridor which is free from steps occurs on Level D (Floor #1 of the Classroom Wing and Floor #4 of the Office Wing). There are elevators to serve each building.
• Main (south) elevator provides access to the Classroom Wing with classrooms, lecture halls, and restrooms.
• North and northwest elevators provide access to the Office Wing which also contains many department offices and libraries.

REST ROOMS:

• Use main (south) elevator to Level C (Floor #0) in the Classroom Wing.
  • Women's - modified.
  • Men's - modified.

PROBLEMS:

• Allow extra time to get from the Language Labs to the classrooms in Dwinelle. You must leave the building from the rear (west side) and go all the way around to the main (east side) entrance. An alternative is to use the northwest (rear) entrance and take an elevator in the Office Wing to Level D (Floor #4) to connect to the Classroom Wing. From there take elevator in Classroom Wing to correct floor.

POINTS OF INTEREST:

• Lecture Hall #155: Four wheelchair spaces at rear of room, two on each side. Stage: accessible from the main (south) elevator, but a key must be obtained from Classroom Scheduling (642-2800, 119 Sproul).
• Lecture Hall #145: Four wheelchair spaces at rear of room, two on each side. Stage: No access.
• Language Labs are mostly accessible, and disabled students may borrow tapes for use at home for the semester. Assistance is provided and alternate facilities may be available. Contact the Classroom Supervisor (642-7221) for help in solving problems.
• Media Service's facilities are accessible. Room #23 (the video master control room) is entered by ramp through #21.
• Durham Theater: Two wheelchair spaces at rear of room, right side. Stage: access to the stage is almost achieved thru the Language Labs using a key available from the Dramatic Arts Department, but there is a 4" step, which needs a small ramp.
