Pavements are tarred and the forecourt is paved. Access to the building is barrier-free. The door to Building I has a threshold about 3 cm high. In the entrance area, in the hallways and lecture rooms, mainly rubber is laid. The steps are protected against slipping by steel edges, but do not have any marking or additional tactile features.

Access to the building

The forecourt can be reached via a ramp to the right side of the building. Both buildings can be entered by automatic doors which open after using a button. Building H is left, Building I is right.

Passage between the buildings

On Level 0, Building H and I are connected. You can pass from one building to the other via a hallway. Passing on Level 1 from one to the other building is possible by using the exits/entrances. The forecourt is covered.

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: H.1.1 = Sanderheinrichsleitenweg 20. Level 1. Room 1. Room designation in THWS buildings in Schweinfurt differs from that, because there numbers are used to designate buildings.

Building plans

Mostly in the staircases, escape and rescue plans are positioned at 120cm height. They make an overview of parts of the building possible.

Room marking

In Sanderheinrichsleitenweg 20, room marking is consistent. Room number and the room’s use is written directly on the door. Toilets are additionally signposted by floor markings. At seminar 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.
