Currently, all Cascades campus buildings are accessible.
The Corvallis Campus is located within a historic district, and the university has worked to make buildings/classrooms physically accessible. Courses may be relocated if the building/classroom is not physically accessible or does not meet other disability-related needs.
The following buildings are not accessible or have limited access:
- Gleeson Hall: not accessible
- Hovland: not accessible
- Shepard: not accessible
- Langton: 2nd floor and above are not accessible.
- McAlexander Fieldhouse: 2nd floor and above are not accessible
- Dearborn 118: no access/steps to teaching station, only back of classroom is accessible
- Gilbert 124: no access/steps to teaching station, only back of classroom is accessible
- Gilmore 234: 2nd floor is not accessible
Students who need additional time to move between buildings and cannot avoid back-to-back courses may qualify for Priority Registration. Students should connect with their DAS Adviser for more information.
Before requesting a classroom relocation, please review the accessibility of the building/classrooms by using the 25Live application from the Registrar Office.
HOW TO USE 25Live:
- Once on the webpage, use Search Locations.
- Type in the building and classroom you’re looking for and hit enter or to search.
For example:
- Here’s a search done for Strand Hall 160:
- Click on the Classroom in blue in the left-hand column. An Availability Grid will appear. Change the search criteria by clicking on Details (button to the left of List). This will show you several details of the room (see example below):
- If you need to see where the building is located or to look at the accessible entrances, click on the OSU Map Link under Attributes:

PROCESS
- Review building/classroom information on 25Live.
- If needed, log into the DAS Student Portal and request a classroom relocation.
- Due to the time involved to relocate a classroom, requests should be made at least four (4) weeks prior to the start of the term. See Chapter 4 on making timely requests.
- Classroom relocation requests made with less than (four) 4 weeks prior to the beginning of the term may result in the student not having access to the course until after the start of the term.
If students are concerned a classroom may not meet their needs, or have questions about campus accessibility, please contact DAS at 541-737-4098.
It is important to note:
- DAS will work with the Office of the Registrar and instructors to find another room that will meet the objectives of the course and instructional requirements of the faculty.
- Courses with specific health and safety equipment such as ventilation hoods, eye washing stations, etc., may not be possible to relocate.
- It may not be possible to relocate a course that requires specially equipped classrooms or would fundamentally alter the nature of a course or program.
- If a classroom cannot be relocated, DAS will work with the student, instructors, and the Office of the Registrar to determine options and next steps.
- OSU is in the process of renovating our facilities to make OSU universally accessible to all. Here is more information about OSU’s accessibility plan for the built environment.
