The only accessible entrance to Ellis Library is listed as the West Entrance at Ground Level on most maps/floorplans. It can be found on the West side of Ellis Library by Speaker Circle.
This elevator is located on the South side of the library and only goes to the ground level and the first floor.
In order to travel to other floors of the library from the ground floor, patrons may want to use the North Elevator.
After entering the building, go past the atrium stairs and Bookmark Cafe. The elevator is across from the men's restroom.
The elevator is located between the two Information Commons across the Colonnade from the atrium stairs.
The North elevators are a set of two elevators located towards the North East side of Ellis Library. These elevators travel from the ground floor to the third floor of Ellis library.
Both elevators will open both to the North and to the South.
For information regarding the buttons in these elevators visit this article: Peer Navigator Corner: Understanding Library Layout.
Ground Floor:
After entering the building from the accessible entrance, patrons should go past bookmark cafe, the south elevators, and the restrooms. When you get to the end of the hall, turn left (or North) and follow the hallway (which will turn West and then North) until you reach the North Elevators to the North and East of the hallway.
The North Elevators can be accessed across from the Checkout and Information Desk to the East of the stairwell.
The North Elevators can be found from Information Commons 2 along the North Wall next to the charging stations.
Please note that the elevator will open both North and South, but there are stairs that can prevent accessibility. Please use the Maps and Floorplans page to determine whether you need to use the North or South entrance.
The directions below assume you are traveling from the West Entrance at Ground Level (the accessible entrance) to the location on the tab above.
