External General Building Areas 
This External General Building Section is intended to assist administrators and instructors in maintaining a physically safe external environment for all students and staff.  Under the provisions of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, this section addresses safety implications associated with inaccessible buildings and facilities. 

The following areas are included in this section:  parking areas, building entrances/exits, and building structure.  Common concerns in this area are the lack of emergency exit procedures and lack of accessible routes from parking areas to building entrances. Corrective actions for potential problems in these areas may be located through the safety resource agencies in the Resources section of this guide.
