Access and Disability Accommodations (ADA) Descriptions: The Gender and Sexuality Center (GSC) is located in the William C. Powers Jr, Student Activity Center (WCP) in suite 2.112. This building is in the center of campus, right off a major pedestrian-only route, and can be hard to access, as there are only a few buses that pick up and drop off in that area. The WCP building itself has multiple elevators, and 3 gender-inclusive & accessible bathrooms, the closest being WCP 2.116 which is right across the hall from the GSC. There are ample chairs of multiple sizes in the GSC, as well as a couch.
If you have additional questions, comments, or feedback about access please email us at gsc@austin.utexes.edu.
Parking: Unfortunately, free parking is extremely limited near UT’s campus. We encourage our guests to carpool or take public transit if possible. The two closest garages are Brazos and San Jacinto, there is information about their rates here. The Triangle park and ride, 13 TRIANGLE, 4600 Guadalupe St. is about 20 minutes away, with travel on the bus and a ten-minute walk from the stop.
