From the ground floor another lift is available giving access to all other floors and the Seminar Room. There is one disabled toilet located next to the classrooms at the back of the Wellcome Wing.

There is an access ramp leading from the roadway to the front door of the newer building. Once inside, there are lifts to access all remaining floors. There is a wheelchair lift giving access to the Lecture Theatre and a ramp to the podium for the lecturer. Disabled toilets are available on the ground and first floors. Wheelchair refuge areas are provided on each floor.
