Thousands of students cross the campus of BYU a day, but some of them cross it in a different way, on wheels. While much of the campus is easily accessible and "wheel friendly" there are buildings and areas of campus that are limited to those on foot. Our purpose is to raise awareness and gain support to better equip our campus for those with special needs.

Q: Is the BYU campus user friendly?
A: Yes. There are many accessible elevators.
Q: Which buildings are the hardest to get to?
A: The south side of the JSB, JKB, and the Wilk.
Q: Which accesses are poorly constructed around campus?
A: A lot of times the handicap access buttons will not open the doors, and ramps are usually only on one side of the building.
Q: What would you change?
A: Roads are often closed for construction during school hours and make it difficult to reach the different ends of campus. I would like to see those roads open for access.
