> MSU Long Range Campus Development Plan
Section 12: Physical Needs (includes ADA)
Handicap accessible buildings especially buildings that house upper administration.
Handicapped people find it much to their advantage to have buildings close together.
Don't put handicapped access toilets on the 4th floor of a building with no elevator.
Provide enough restrooms in each building.
Do we still anticipate 5% growth every 5 years?  Fewer high school graduates in the future will likely level the numbers.  However, older student numbers are on the rise.  Accessibility may become more of an issue…allow golf carts/shuttles.
Make Montana Hall ADA compliant.  Not enough women's bathrooms in MT Hall.
As campus and population gets older, will need to accommodate more people with disabilities.
MT Hall is not handicapped accessible.  More of an issue for staff who have put up with it for years than students who do everything online now.
Smoother sidewalks for mobility challenged students and staff.
Keep handicapped parking clear of ice and hazards.
ADA access for walking mobility impairment, handrail from parking space to building.  Handicapped parking on right side of road, open rail on right side to building.
Handicapped accessibility campus-wide is crucial.  For instance - no elevator available in Sherrick Hall - the College of Nursing.
Stability handrail from handicapped parking area by SUB to an area where you can access the building without fear of falling due to the ice.
