Access for People with Disabilities
Text Version
Beginning March 2009 renovations for the ground floor of Hamilton Hall will begin. Renovations will render Hamilton Hall ADA inaccessible for the duration of the construction. Please note the following:
If you need access to offices being moved to the upper floors of Hamilton Hall you will need to call to arrange meetings in accessible locations with those departments. One of the crucial departments being moved is Human Resources/Affirmative Action they can be reached at 994-2042 to schedule a place to meet, if needed.
The sidewalk on the west side of Hamilton will also be closed during renovations, signs will be posted indicating accessible routes.
ADA parking on the West end of the Hamilton lot will be inaccessible during the construction. Additional ADA parking spots will be added to the south end of the South 7th lot, which is the street that leads to the Hamilton lot.
Renovations are scheduled to be completed by Spring 2010. Montana State University regrets any inconvenience caused by this renovation.
