- Accessibility
- The route to the main entrance is smooth, wide and lit but steep. The main door has steps, a heavy door and thresholds over 2 cm. An alternative entrance leads to the lift, but requires a buzzer and the lift door is heavy. An accessible toilet is on floor −1; check the suitable route with the library.
