1.      Location Tip

The William R. Hewlett Teaching Center, informally known as the Regional Teaching Center (RTC), is located at 370 Serra Mall west of the Main Quad. Its curved west facade marks the portal to the William R. Hewlett and David Packard Science and Engineering Quadrangle.

 

2.      Use / Purpose

Primarily used by the Physics, Chemistry and Biology departments, The William R. Hewlett Teaching Center offers rotating stages in the lecture halls with sophisticated technological capabilities for students and faculty alike.

 

3.      Accessible Entrance / Circulation

Built in 1998, The William R. Hewlett Teaching Center is fully compliant with ADA requirements. A ramp leads from Serra Mall to the northeast entrance, from The William R. Hewlett and David Packard Science and Engineering Quadrangle to both the southeast and southwest entrances. All have functional automatic doors; the southeast entrance also has an ordinary phone to call to gain entrance. Elevators are located on the outside wall directly to the right as you enter through the northeast doors.

 

4.      Restrooms

Men and womens restrooms located on the ground floor are wheelchair-accessible.

 

5.      Parking & Transportation

There is one disabled parking space off Via Pueblo behind HEPL North and several spaces in the front of the Oval. The Marguerite shuttle is always a good bet with a stop on Serra Mall almost directly in front of The William R. Hewlett Teaching Center. All Marguerite shuttles are wheelchair-accessible. Look into Marguerite Paratransit through Parking and Transportation Services, and DisGo Cart Services through the Student Disability Resource Center, for curb-to-curb service. Marguerite Paratransit provides free curb-to-curb service to wheelchair users on campus with lift-equipped vans; DisGo (Disability Golf) Cart service currently runs three four-seater golf carts.
