Architectural accessibility
Information on architectural accessibility of the buildings of the Institute of Organic Chemistry PAS in Warsaw (Kasprzaka 44/52, 01-224 Warsaw) with an indication of possible difficulties in access and use for people with disabilities.
The scientific entity named Institute of Organic Chemistry PAS is located in Warsaw at Kasprzaka 44/52 Street in two buildings closely connected with each other (permanent connectors) and the building housing the administration with the conference room and the adjacent building of the doctoral hotel. The library and lecture hall are located in a building shared with the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences. These buildings are in very close proximity.
The main entrance to the Institute’s premises is located in the building belonging to the IPC PAS from Kasprzaka Street on the ground floor without any stairs. The entrance provides free access to the building for the disabled, directly from the sidewalk, with no architectural restrictions. Additionally, there is a reception service there.
The complex of laboratory buildings is located on different levels (underground, ground floor and first floor) connected with each other by lifts, a stair platform and stairs.
