My wheelchair experience with Ashley Arnold was very interesting, but a little fun was added into it. Going through the process of having to go in and out of doors, even though accessible, was difficult. In the Architecture building, the library doesn't have an accessible door, which also made it hard to figure out how to get through, but after a lot of turning and nudging it was possible. A space to be accessible has never seemed so important until I had experienced it for myself. Wheeling around in the corridors and seeing how the bathrooms were difficult to move around in and the mirrors were too high, seems as though those in wheelchairs have it harder than most people think.
