University Museum of Natural History

 After passing through the large front door, the entrance to the museum is up a set of stone steps with a central handrail and no nosings.  The door leading to the museum is on a raised step.

Those requiring level access can ring the intercom on the left hand side of the front door to be escorted to the level entrance.  It is also possible to make your own way there!  Head around the right hand side of the building, and follow a ramp around a set of sunken steps to get to the level entrance.  This is held open during visiting hours.

 From the level entrance, go along the corridor to your right, and then follow it 'round to reach the lift to the ground floor. This route is clearly signposted, and the lift services all floors.

There is also a platform lift at the  north end of the building which provides access to a third disabled toilet.  Only museum staff can operate this lift, so it is more convenient to use the toilets at the South end of the building (nearest the level entrance).

There are three accessible toilets at the museum, and all of them are on the lower ground floor.  One is at the end of the lift corridor, one in the conference room of the museum annexe, and one at the north side of the building, under the staircase.

There are Men’s and Women’s toilets on the lower ground floor at the North end of the building.   Follow the North staircase down to reach them.

The lecture theatre on the first floor is fitted with a hearing loop.  There is also a hearing loop on the Welcome Desk by the museum entrance.
