The main entrance is wheelchair accessible from the park (south side) and well marked.
The basement (stacks) is not suitable for persons with a visual impairment. Missing step markings, poorly lit corridors, reflective flooring and a low clear passage height (< 1.8 m) make orientation difficult. The flooring in the building is highly reflective, step markings are missing.
