In this next phase of assignments, our English 101 class will be evaluating the accessibility of the campus as a whole. To start off with we are analyzing buildings individually. I chose the Dobbs University Center because of its integral role in most students’ lives.

            The Dobbs University Center has about six different entrances, and I believe that all but one is accessible to those using wheelchairs.  The only downside to this is that although 5 entrances are usable by chair users, they all require you to take the elevator to get to the level with food. The elevator is actually in a central location geographically speaking but the path to it is far off from the path students able to walk would take.            

            As far as accessibility is concerned the Dobbs University Center has it covered pretty well. I believe for the same reasons it supports chair users it would also support students/faculty with abnormal gaits, or those who have trouble with stairs.
