Physical Facilities oversees all activities associated with planning, financing, gaining approval for construction of new facilities and the Repair and Rehabilitation Program including ADA accessibility. A current list of construction notices along with the campus construction map(s) can be found on the Construction Notices and Maps webpage.

The locations of accessible entrances to campus buildings can be found of the Campus Map. Go to the Layers List tab in the upper right portion of the map, and check the box “Accessible Entry.” The blue diamonds on each building show the location of all accessible entrances.

Physical Facilities are also responsible for the following areas around campus.

To report a broken elevator, contact the building deputy for the particular building the elevator is located. A complete list of campus building deputies can be found on the Building Deputy webpage.

If a person is stuck in an elevator, however, contact the Work Request Center at (765) 494-9999 between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. and the Purdue Public Safety Dispatch Center (their non-emergency phone number) at (765) 494-8221 during non-working hours.

To report a non-functioning accessible button, scan the QR code near the door to open a Fix-It Request. The Fix-it Request webpage can also be found here. Follow these steps to submit your ticket:
