Our museum is accessible to all of those with mobility impairments, with wheelchair ramps, elevators, and wheelchair accessible doors. Should additional transportation on campus be needed, we have access to a golf-cart for movement between buildings. Service animals are allowed on campus, and for those hearing impaired we are prepared to have the campus interpreter made available. For those with vision impairments, one of our staff is happy to help in any way possible.
