Introduction

This route runs from campus central to Carnegie School of Sport. This route is 270 metres long.

As you leave the Campus Central Building through the automatic door, turn right and follow the path along, past the front of the building and up until you reach the road. The path at this point has a slabbed surface which is mostly level along the front of the Campus Central Building and then has a slight gradient leading up to road.

Once at the side of the road, please use the dropped kerb to cross the road. The crossing is clearly marked with black and white road markings.
The road surface is level and smooth and has dropped kerbs with tactile paving either side.
Once across the road, turn to the left and follow the path along the side of the same road.
The path still had a slabbed surface and has an easy gradient running down, against you as you walk along the path. The path begins to bend round to the right as you come up to the next road.
Continue to follow this path for 15 meters as it curves round and begins to climb the moderate gradient, up until you come to the end of the path, where there is a dropped kerb on your left to cross the next road.

Once at the road crossing, use the dropped kerb onto the road. The crossing point is clearly marked with black and white markings.
The surface of the road is smooth but has a slight gradient running down the hill, towards you and on your left. There is a dropped kerb with tactile paving on both sides of the crossing.

The path has a mostly level slabbed surface which is uneven in places running up an easy gradient all the way to your destination.
The path is quite narrow, with a width of only 95 cm. Continue along this path until you come up to another road crossing.

Once you're at the road crossing, use the dropped kerb to cross the road. This is only a maintenance access road so is hardly used, and there is tactile paving on both sides of the road crossing. The crossing is marked with white lines and a pedestrian symbol.
Once across, continue along the path of another 20 meters until coming to a second maintenance access road crossing. This crossing has dropped kerbs and tactile paving on both sides so crossing is made easier.
The crossing is clearly marked with black and white markings. Once again, continue to follow the path along for 18 meters until you come to a dropped kerb.

Turn left at the dropped kerb and cross the road.
The road is usually quiet and has a block paved surface.
There is no dedicated crossing point and no tactile paving.
Continue straight ahead and proceed along the front of the Carnegie School of Sport building.
The paving is stone tiles with strips of block paving.
The paving may look like steps.
There are bollards between the road and the building.
The height of the bollards is 98cm.
The minimum width between the bollards is 131cm.
The bollards do not contrast visually with the paving.
There is a very slight uphill gradient along the paving.
There are bench seats along the paving in front of the building, which reduce the width of the pathway, however this is still over 150cm wide.
After 26 metres turn right and the entrance to the Carnegie School of Sport is ahead.
