Ambulatory Wheelchair User in Bryn Mawr Class of 2029

I was looking through the instagram for incoming freshman at Bryn Mawr and I came accross a girl who is an ambulatory wheelchair user that is committed to Bryn Mawr. While the idea of this definently really excites me, I am worried that Bryn Mawr's facilities aren't advanced enough to accomodate a wheelchair user, even if they are able to walk sometimes. In her description she specfies that she plans to use her wheelchair to get around daily and I wanted to consider some of the challenges she may face and how to combat them ahead of time. 

The biggest concern I have is that none of the dorms on Bryn Mawr's campus have elevators, so unless a person is able to walk up the stairs, they will never be able to visit their friends dorms that live on floors other than the first. Though there are certainly other places to hang out with friends, dorms tend to be the most common place. Further in my dorm, Denbigh Hall, in particular, though there is a ramp to enter it doesn't actually feel accessible. The ramp is around the back of the build and you have to go down the sidewalk on a busy street and through the parking lot to get there. On top of this, after you get up the ramp it enters to a narrow hallway with tight turns that I feel would be difficult for a wheelchair user to navigate. Then you must enter another door that does not have an automatic opener and is also a heavy door, that feels like it would be almost impossible for a wheelchair user to scan themself into the building, open the heavy door, and get through into the building. 

Another concern I have about Bryn Mawr's campus for wheelchair users is the common class commute from Dalton to Park. Most of my friends that have experience with back to back classes, have had to make the trek from Park Science Center (at the bottom of Bryn Mawr's campus) to Dalton (near the blue bus stop) in 10 minutes. This journey takes a long time when my friends are moving quickly and this is without needing to use elevators or other assiantance devices that may be needed to assisit. Having to make this journey would be difficult for a wheelchair user, but I think as long as professors are accomodating it shouldn't prove to be too much of a challenge. 

Another building on campus I am concerned about is Taylor Hall which has no accessible entrance to the building at all, so the classes of a wheelchair user would need to be moved from the building. On top of this some of Bryn Mawr's tradition such as Lantern Night would need to be adjusted as in the past students have had to walk up the stairs. Overall, I believe that there are quite a few events on campus that are not currently accessible, but I think it's completely possible for the Bryn Mawr community to slightly adjust many things to be more accomodating. 

I would love to talk in class about the approaches Bryn Mawr could take to be accomadating and help this student!
