Information regarding accessibility on campus
The newer buildings on campus are barrier-free. Most rooms situated above ground level in the old buildings are unfortunately not barrier-free, as no lifts can be installed due to a building preservation order. Further information about the physical barriers at the art school can be found at the helpdesk in German: https://helpdesk.kh-berlin.de/help/de-de/161-barrierearmut-an-der-hochschule/710-welche-raumlichen-barrieren-gibt-es-in-der-hochschule
