How to get to building V with a wheelchair?

There is a lift on the Forumsplatte between the canteen and building C. Take this to the ground floor. There you will first find the entrance to a day care center (the "Flohzirkus"), but if you follow the path to the left, you will reach the entrance of building V at ground level.

TUKAN machines

The TUKAN machines, which can be found at various locations on campus I and II, can also be used by wheelchair users via the trackball on the right-hand side of the keyboard. This allows a mouse pointer to be moved and directed to the fields on the screen. All fields on the screen can be controlled and triggered with the mouse buttons over the trackball.
EC card reader, TUNIKA reader and receipt dispenser are located in the lower part of the device and are easily accessible.

There are also designated disabled parking spots on campus. In order to park here you need a special parking permit: the "Parking permit for people with disabilities in the European Union". In order to apply for the blue parking permit - usually at the local road traffic authority or the city's regulatory office - you need a severely disabled person's pass with the marks aG (exceptionally disabled) or Bl (blind).
