The Dean of Student's Office has produced a Getting Around guide to help all UEA users to get to the University and to negotiate the campus.
An online guide has been funded by the university and produced by DisabledGo. It lists facilities, including the Library, with DisabledGo surveyors visiting each of them to assess their access.
There are accessible toilets on Floor 01 and 02 of the main building and Floor 02 of the extension. The latter is accessible to those using the 24 hr IT Area when the rest of the building is closed.
The IT area in the Library Building is now accessible via the main Library entrance during the night. It is closed 15 minutes before the Library closes and access to the rest of the Library ceases. Access through the entrance gates using your UEA campus card is permitted again at 10 minutes after the rest of the Library closes. During this 25 minute period you can wait in the Library foyer outside of the entrance gates. When the rest of the Library is closed you will need your campus card for swipe access to the Library Building and the entrance gates. Campus cards have been set up to give access but if you experience any difficulties please report the problem to the IT Helpdesk on Floor 0 of the Library.

Emergency procedures
In cases of emergency an alarm will sound.- DO ask someone to inform Library staff or security staff of your presence in the building. There are refuge areas where wheelchair users can use the refuge alarm to speak directly to a member of the security team in case of an emergency. These are located in the far stairwell and the lift lobbies on every floor.
- DO escape as far as possible on the same level or, if this is not possible ask to be helped to a room remote from the source of the fire, or to the landing of the emergency stairs and await rescue.
- DO NOT try to use the lifts. They will be immobilised.
- DO NOT allow helpers to assist you or carry you down busy stairs until you are sure it is safe to do so.
