Wilson Library accessible entrance nears completion
With the completion of an accessible ramp—which is expected to open mid-October 2026—wheelchair users and visitors with mobility limitations and disabilities will no longer need to travel a circuitous route around Wilson and through Haggard Hall to access tutoring, study spaces, Zoes, events in the Reading Room, or library collections (including WWU signatures like Special Collections, the Northwest Collection, and the Children’s Literature Collection).

The north doors of Wilson will remain closed until the new stairs fully comply with building code, likely at the end of September. The ramp is expected to open a few weeks later.
