Accessibility

Passenger drop-off:

• Enter through the Goucher College Gatehouse (#8 on map below).
• Continue on the main road until you come to the Dorsey College Center building (#4 on map below). The main road divides at this point, with one fork going off to the right and another fork going a bit to the left. You want the fork that goes a bit to the left and up the hill towards the Alumnae/i House.
• As you go up the hill, you will see several handicapped parking spaces on the left—on the opposite side of the road from that there is a gated (the gate is open) driveway leading to the Athenaeum. Turn right into the driveway and proceed to the entrance to the Athenaeum.
• When you reach the accessible parking area at the Alumnae/i House make a right and follow the driveway up to the Athenaeum entrance, Forum level.

 Accessible Parking: There are two accessible parking spaces near the Forum level entrance.  More parking is available at the Alumnae/i House lot.
