Classrooms

If a room is named Lecture hall or Auditorium the seating is in stairs. Some of these halls are accessible for wheel chairs, but not all.

In the scheduling system Kronox, you can find information about our classrooms. Kronox also provides details on whether a room has a hearing loop, automatic door opener, or if there is no elevator available.

If you have questions about a specific room, you can contact your teacher or Student Support, or check the information yourself in Kronox.
