IN A WHEELCHAIR 

All AMC venues are wheelchair accessible with the following notes: there are stairs between the McGregor Conference Center and the Community Arts Auditorium, which means you have to roll around the buildings outside in order to move between McGregor and Community Arts in a wheel chair. Please ask at the registration table if you need assistance moving between McGregor and Community Arts.  It takes 5-10 minutes to get from one building to another in a wheelchair.  We have a wheelchair accessible van that can provide rides to most off-campus locations.  Please inform the registration table if you need a wheelchair accessible ride.
