Campus Accessibility Information

Niagara University is located on Route 104 on the northern limits of the city of Niagara Falls, N.Y. The 160-acre campus runs along the top of picturesque Monteagle Ridge overlooking the Niagara River gorge. Because of its size and other environmental factors, such as snow, navigating the campus can pose challenges to those with mobility impairments. The university has addressed these challenges by providing handicapped parking spaces in each lot and by making nearly all buildings accessible at ground level or by motorized lifts.

Niagara University continues to strive to achieve excellence in all of its programs and services, as well as to assure its programs and services are delivered equitably and efficiently to all of its students, employees, and visitors.
