Campus map and accessible routes

The campus map outlines the access routes from site arrival points (parking lots and transit stop) to accessible building entrances. These routes are noted on signage throughout campus. Due to the slope of campus there are section of access routes that use elevators within buildings to navigate the hills.

The following describes these interior sections of access routes. Please review the campus map for all access route information:

Report a physical barrier to access

If you or someone you know encounters a physical barrier that is preventing equal access to a University building or area, please report it to us. Physical barriers are conditions in any structural environment that prevent or impede an individual with a disability from efficiently navigating the setting.

REPORT A BARRIER TO ACCESS

Barriers to access can include:

  • non-functioning door openers
  • non-functioning elevators
  • damaged curb cuts
  • issues with accessible restrooms
  • weather related issues such as snow blocked paths

To report physical barriers on any UW Campus (Seattle, Bothell or Tacoma), complete the form using the link above or contact Customer Care. Once reported, the UW Facilities Customer Care Team will contact appropriate University resources from the specific campus to inform them of the report. This will initiate the process and our trained professionals will address your individual needs based on each set of circumstances.
