Wheelchair access
The Alfred Denny Museum is Partially Wheelchair accessible.
The entrance to the building, corridors and external displays are wide enough to comfortably accommodate a wheelchair.
Within the museum there are some spaces too narrow for wheelchairs to pass through. However, there is space to move around the rest of the museum via other routes which can get to the same points (more details below in the Interal access section).
Within the Alfred Denny building there are 4 lifts which provide access to the museum and accompanying displays. All toilet facilities include an accessible toilet cubicle. The closest toilets to the museum are the C floor toilets (female) and D floor toilets (male). There are also gender neutral toilets on A floor.
More information can be found on the Alfred Denny Building's AccessAble Guide

There is step free access to the Main entrance on the corner of the building.
Currently there is scaffolding up around the Alfred Denny building limiting access from the south side due to steps on the pavement. We recommend entering the building from the Art’s Tower carpark or the pelican crossing instead of using the underpass in front of the students union.

Parking:
We are unable to offer parking on the University campus and the nearby public 'pay and display' parking is very limited. There is a nearby multi-story carpark a 3 minute walk away from the building on Durham Rd, Broomhall, Sheffield S10 2JA.

Most of the walkways are wide enough for a wheelchair to fit through however, the immediate turnings left and right from the entrance are too narrow so the central walkway and connected outer walkways should be used alternatively. Below are pictures of the museum walkways with their width included. The museum Virtual Reality tour has a built in measure feature which can also be used to help plan out movement within the museum.
