The JU Accessibility Centre is located in the city centre at 9A, al. Mickiewicza (the corner of al. Mickiewicza and ul. Krupnicza). It is the Collegium Paderevianum II building, hosting also the JU Philological Faculty.
The office of the JU Accessibility Centre is located on the fourth (top) floor of the building, which persons with disabilities can reach using one of the two lifts going up from the ground floor.
