On the Hervanta campus, the buildings are connected to each other by an accessible internal route. On the city centre campus, an unobstructed internal connection is found between the Main building and PinniB, and between PinniB and PinniA. The TAMK main campus has an accessible internal route between Kuntokatu 3 and Kuntokatu 4 through an overpass.

Parking and accompanying vehicles
All campuses have parking spaces for the disabled close to the entrances. Check the campus maps for the exact location of the parking spaces for the disabled as well as routes for accompanying vehicles.

The campus restaurants serve several different dishes each day. Ask the restaurant for an option that suits you. It is not possible to get food while sitting in a wheelchair in all the restaurants. In such cases, ask the restaurant personnel for help.
