Accessibility at Clark Library and Beyond

Fully renovated in 2013, the library's public spaces are wheelchair accessible. A ramp is available at the library's main entrance, and an elevator provides access to all three floors of the library. Our interactive library map has photos and descriptions of spaces.

Clark Library's list of study rooms includes an icon that indicates which rooms are accessible: 

Some library spaces are designated Quiet Areas. The lower floor of the library is designated as a quiet floor, and there is also a Quiet Study Lounge on the upper floor (Room 223).

Sensory Friendly rooms with floor lamps with dimmer and warm lighting, as well as 4 plush foam chairs, are located in study rooms 214 and 215 adjacent to the Quiet Study Lounge on the upper floor. These rooms are reservable.

For distraction-reduced study or test-taking, the library has 12 study carrels on the lower floor (quiet floor), as well as several reservable booths on the upper floor.  These spaces may be reserved by UP students, faculty, and staff up to two weeks in advance at https://library.up.edu/seats.

There are four height-adjustable tables in the library: two on the main floor, one on the upper floor, and one on the lower floor.

All restrooms in the library have a wheelchair accessible stall. Additionally, there is a gender-inclusive, single user restroom on the lower floor that is wheelchair accessible. We encourage patrons to use whichever restrooms most closely align with their gender identity or make them feel most comfortable. Here is a list of campus all gender restrooms, and a map of their locations.

Service animals are welcome; however, in keeping with the University's Policy on Service and Support Animals, emotional support animals are not permitted. Study Room 203 has been set aside as an animal-free zone for those with allergies.
