Accessible Arts is on the campus of Kansas State School for the Blind (KSSB). The entire campus is surrounded by a chain link fence, with the main entrance on the north side of State Avenue about half way between 12th and 11th Streets. Just to the east of the entrance is a yellow banner on a lightpole for KSSB. Just west of the entrance are two signs on the fence; one for SPARC and one for Accessible Arts.
Accessible Arts is in the lower level of the Health Center. At the main entrance, take the main drive straight north as far as it goes curving past the Brighton Recreation Center and the Health Center, both on the right. At the far end of the main drive, make a horseshoe right turn BACK to the red brick Health Center you just past. You are now in a long narrow parking lot for the lower floor of the building. There is a sign on our window and an entry bell on the wall at the left of the door.
To go to the KSSB Irwin Administration Building, as you enter the main entrance of the campus, the first left takes you into an oblong circle parking lot. On the right, the Dormitory is the first building, the second (set back) is the Dining Hall, and the third is the School. The Administration Building is the building on the left.
