Access to the building

The main entrance is on Sanderring and not barrier-free. You have to climb several steps and open a non-automatic fire door. Barrier-free access is possible by using the entrance to Münzstraße 12. 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. Since the two buildings are slightly offset in height, a slight slope has to be overcome. It is a downward slope towards 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.

In addition, there are staircases in Münzstraße 12. Due to the offset in height between Münzstraße 12 and Sanderring 8a, the hallways are sloping downwards towards Sanderring 8a. There are handrails available. Another height difference has to be overcame in the back part of the building. There are ramps, but handrails are not available for the full ramp length.

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: S.1.01 = Sanderring 8a. 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
