Elevators & Level Changes

Level Changes
As an alternative way to change levels, there is a small path that goes around the building. This allows access from the courtyard at the entrance on Lennéstraße to Adenauerallee. However, there are still about 100 meters to walk back to the entrance. The path is uneven and narrow. At one point, it passes through a sandy section. A part of the path goes slightly uphill. At the end towards Adenauerallee, there is a barrier for cars

The room contains a relaxation lounge chair, two workstations with height-adjustable desks and specific computer equipment, as well as a crib for children. To use the room, one should contact the study management.

An accessible toilet is located on the ground floor opposite Lecture Hall K. The room can be opened with a Euro key. The door does not open automatically.
