Directions to the Disability Resource Center

The Disability Resource Center (DRC) is located in the Student Services Building #124: Map showing DRC location on campus

There is metered parking in front of our building, but during the September - June academic year, an available space may be hard to come by.  There are also nine disabled parking spaces in front and behind our building. The directions below will take you to the Cal Poly Visitor Information Center, where you can get a map of campus and purchase a General Parking permit. The General Parking lot is still a downhill distance from our office, and there is much construction on campus right now--exciting, but it means that reaching us (and getting back uphill) may require some persistence. We apologize in advance for any difficulty you may have, and encourage you to call if you need assistance in finding us--(805) 756 1395.
