Campus Accessibility
NAVIGATING WMU
Â鶹´«Ã½ is a comparatively large campus with 39 miles of sidewalk and 26.5 lane miles of roadway. There are approximately 96 buildings on and around the main campus, though not all are Â鶹´«Ã½ related. These facts alone impact how all Â鶹´«Ã½s, staff, faculty and visitors are able to navigate the campuses, especially for Â鶹´«Ã½s with conditions involving mobility. WMU Bronco Transit offers a variety of transportation routes for on campus and Kalamazoo County offers routes for off-campus to campus travel.
