Access Information

Summary

The Education Library is mainly accessible.

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

Parking

Designated handicapped parking is near the UBC Bookstore. Paid parking is down the hill in the West Parkade.

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.

Library catalogue and computers

Several of the Library Web computers are at table height.

Book stacks

There is comfortable width between stacks and spacious aisles.

Washrooms

Specially designed and spacious accessible washrooms are on the main level.

Photocopiers

Regular photocopiers are on the main level.

Public telephones

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