Access to other buildings
The Building Sanderring 8a (room nos. starting with S) can be accessed from Münzstraße 12 via Levels -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3. Levels of both buildings have the same numbers, only the letter designating the building changes. Since the two buildings are slightly offset in height, a slight slope has to be overcome. It is a downward slope towards Sanderring 8a. If stairs cannot be used, access to all rooms in Sanderring 8a is only possible via Münzstraße 12. Levels -1, 0, 1, 2 can be accessed via Münzstraße 12; you may use the lift in the passage area between both buildings as there is no lift in Sanderring 8a. Level 3 of Sanderring 8a is accessible via the terrace on Level 3 of Münzstraße 12. Entrance to the terrace is located in the rear left of Level 3 and is equipped with a ramp. If you keep right on the terrace, another ramp will lead you to the entrance of Level 3 of Sanderring 8a.
Guidance system
For orientation within THWS buildings in Würzburg, a consistent system of room numbers is used. Numbers start with a letter designating the building. The following number designates the floor number or level. After that, the actual room number is given. Example: M.1.01 = Münzstraße 12. Level 1. Room 1. Room designation in THWS buildings in Schweinfurt differs from that, because there numbers are used to designate buildings.
Building plans
At all important locations, escape and rescue plans are positioned at 120cm height. They make an overview of parts of the building possible.
Room marking
In Münzstraße 12, room marking is consistent. Boards mounted on the wall state the room number and the room’s use. At seminar, meeting, and lecture rooms, ongoing and upcoming courses are shown on rather small digital screens.
Information and ongoing courses
The Infoboard offers an overview of all ongoing courses by stating the lecturer, the room number and the course’s duration. This overview is shown on big, centrally located screens. The information about ongoing courses is available online.
