In the last two decades, Lewis & Clark has been working productively to provide accommodations and make its campus more accessible to the disabled, but we recognize that there is still more to be accomplished, especially in the area of physical accessibility. The College's Master Plan, which provides a blueprint for future development of the campus, should move us more effectively toward the goal of accessibility in the years to come. Recently, an addition to the Aubrey Watzek Library, a new Humanities classroom building and an Art building have been built entirely to ADA standards.
      Nevertheless, since Lewis & Clark is on the original grounds of a manor house that was built into a hillside alongside a ravine, there are some buildings that are not yet accessible or entirely accessible. As we strive to make the campus more accessible, we do our best to meet the needs of students so that they can reach their educational goals. As in the case of all students with disabilities, students with physical disabilities must be strong self-advocates and notify the office of Student Support Services in a timely manner of their needs.
      We have provided the services listed below for students with physical disabilities and mobility impairments, but each case and each request for accommodations is considered individually. Students are encouraged to let the Student Support Services Office (503-768-7191 or access@lclark.edu) know as soon as possible if they are planning to visit or attend Lewis & Clark so that arrangements can be made to meet their needs.
