First Floor Accessible Route to Elevator

Accessible Entry and Routes

Visitors who cannot navigate the steps in the entrance under the arch should go past that entrance and use the ramp on your right. At the end of the ramp, press the white button to notify security to open the door.

From that entrance, you can follow the wide hallways to the Figueroa elevator which provides access between the first and second floors.

To Mural Room and Tower

Turn right when exiting the Figueroa elevator on the second floor, and right again down the corridor to the tiled staircase wall at the end. (Enjoy the mountain view on your right en route.) Turn left, and on your left, you will see the wide entrance doors to the Mural Room. To the right of the Mural Room doors, there is an elevator that will take you to the Tower.
