Accessible UW Housing

Students with disabilities who need special equipment such as a door light or flashing phone ringer supplied to their rooms or require wheelchair accessible rooms should contact Residence Life & Dining Services (RLDS) prior to the beginning of the school year. RLDS needs information about disability-related needs as early as possible to ensure that your needs are met. The RLDS central office is located in the lower level of the Washakie Center and can be reached at 307-766-3175.

Wheelchair accessible rooms are available in Hill, White, McIntyre, Downey, and Orr Halls.
