Accessibility of the entrance to the building and passing through control areas
The main entrance to the building is located at al. Mickiewicza 30. There are stairs at the entrance (7 steps), thus it is not accessible to wheelchair users.
There is an entrance with a lift adapted for wheelchair users at the back of the building from the northern courtyard. At the entrance and exit of the courtyard, there are intercoms installed to contact the reception when the gate is closed. People with mobility impairments cannot access the reception, as it is located in between floors, 6 steps from the -1 floor and 16 steps from the ground floor.
Accessibility of corridors, stairs, and lifts
The corridors in the building allow for free movement, as there are no differences in levels. Access to the basement level and parts of the lower ground floor (to the northern and southern wings) is limited.
The stairs do not have special accommodations for people with disabilities, except for the access to rooms 380-383, where a stair lift has been installed.
The building is equipped with 3 passenger lifts:
- two internal lifts, measuring 1.1x1.3 m, moving between the -1 floor (lower ground floor) and the 3rd floor (-1, 0, 1, 2, 3), partially adapted to the needs of people with disabilities,
- an external elevator, serving as an entrance/exit from the northern courtyard, adapted for people with disabilities, moving between the ground level outside the building (P) and the 2nd floor (P, -1, 0, 1, 2).
The elevators are equipped with audio announcements and Braille labels.
