Facilities for people with physical disabilities
Various facilities are available for students and visitors with physical disabilities.

Most vending machines (coffee, soda, candy) are easy for wheelchair users and small people to operate.
Information desks
Both the Library and Student Desk are equipped with an adapted section for visitors in wheelchairs.
