The area around the building is accessible for individuals with disabilities. The sidewalks are even, without gaps between finishing elements. There are no obstacles at the entrance to the building that would impede movement. There are no designated parking spaces for individuals with disabilities directly at the building. However, such parking spaces are located approximately 100 meters away from the building.

The main entrance to the building is located at Professor Kazimierz Idaszewski Square. It is adapted for individuals with disabilities and features a ramp. The entrance doors swing open and are manually operated. Due to the weight of the doors, increased force is required to operate them.

The building has 5 floors, and access for individuals with physical disabilities is provided to all floors. In the lobby, there is a stair lift allowing access to the higher ground floor. Additionally, a lift located near room 019 facilitates movement between the floors. Operation of both devices requires notifying the porter (devices are activated using a key). The WCSS headquarters is on the third floor of the building. Access to it is restricted by an access code/intercom. External guests are invited inside by a secretary. There are no toilets adapted for individuals with mobility disabilities in the building. The nearest accessible restroom is located on the ground floor of building D-21 (the second WCSS headquarters, connected to building D-2, fully adapted for individuals with disabilities). The restroom is situated near the cloakroom, close to the entrance of the building.

Assistance dogs and guide dogs are allowed entry into the building and all its premises. There are no induction loops in the building. There are no sound markers in the building. Should the assistance of a sign language interpreter be required, please contact the Department of Accessibility and Support for People with Disabilities at least 48 hours before the planned visit (email: pomoc.n@pwr.edu.pl).
