All standard entrances and exits are barrier-free and located at ground level. Some emergency exits may have thresholds.
The width of doors and corridors at the University is adequate to meet the needs of people with mobility disabilities. Internal doors between sectors do not open automatically, but remain open during the day, which allows easy access to the building.

They are equipped with time-delay systems for door movement, making it easier to get in and out, as well as advanced motion sensors for safety. Buttons in the elevators are large and easy to read, labeled in Braille, allowing people with visual impairments to use them comfortably.
In Building F between the 9th and 10th floors, there is a platform for people with mobility disabilities to access the classrooms on the 10th floor.
