If this shutdown will have an impact on your ability to attend work or class due to the nature of your disability, please contact DPRC.

Please note the blockade is in between the ramp and stair entrances to Student Health Center, so this closure only impacts the ability to go through this pathway, not getting into the Health Center or Burk Hall.

As an alternative to this outdoor pathway, pedestrians may use the first floor of BH as a thoroughfare. The main entrance of BH facing the quad/Cesar Chavez and the south entrance at the Garden of Remembrance (adjacent to Fine Arts) are both accessible via push buttons.

Entering BH from the main entrance, travel straight down the hall and make a left after BH 160. The south entrance will be just on the other side of the staircase.

Entering from the Garden of Remembrance, go past the staircase and make a right. Continue down the hall until you reach the main lobby/entrance.

Our virtual reception room will still be open during normal hours, and email at dprc@sfsu.edu and voicemail at 415-338-2472 will be checked regularly. Scheduled Zoom appointments and drop-ins will not be interrupted.

Cart rides will not be available through DPRC. UPD is available to give mobility rides but riders may experience long wait times and this service should only be used if necessary to participate in on-campus work or school activities. Rides may be requested by contacting UPD Dispatch at 415-338-7200 (then press -0-).
