Located at 9A, Mickiewicza Avenue, the Collegium Padervianum II building, stands at the corner of Mickiewicza Ave and Krupnicza Street, on both sides surrounded by a pavement made of concrete slabs.

There are three entrances to the building:

It is located at the corner of the building, and an approach/ramp with a slight incline leads to it. There are three-step stairs on both sides of the ramp. The entrance has a sliding door that opens automatically. Inside, there are lifts on two sides of the lobby, stairs opposite the entrance, and the doorkeeper’s post on the right, between a lift and the stairs. Opposite the main entrance, slightly behind the stairs, there is an exit to the courtyard, which at the same time gives access to the Paderevianum building at 9B, Mickiewicza Ave. On both sides of the contrasting strip marking the route to the courtyard exit, just behind the stairs, stand small stone flower beds.
