Building Accessibility

The Library is B-Building – consult the campus map to familiarize yourself with the campus layout and to view the accessible parking area. The Library has one entrance – the double-doors on the right side of our entrance are accessible.

Elevators

There is one elevator in the building, which can only be accessed from inside the building. After entering, the elevator can be found past the service desks on the first floor, and before the entrance to ʻUluʻulu.

Restrooms

The restrooms on both floors of the Library are accessible; they can be found on the komohana, or west, side of the building. The women’s restroom on the second floor has an automatic door.
