Description of the facility

The historic building complex with teaching areas between located between the Celetná street and the Ovocný trh square is made up of several historic buildings connected into one functional unit. In addition to the Rectorate’s teaching areas (the Green and Blue lecture halls), it also houses selected departments of the Faculty of Arts. The basement also houses the accessible student club Studentský klub Celetná. Due to its ruggedness, the building presents a rather complicated terrain. Using existing measures, most (but not all) of the complex has been made accessible. Unlike the administrative areas, most of the areas intended for teaching are accessible. The building has several accessible restrooms. There is an elevator available to move from floor to floor.

The main accessible entrance is located at Celetná 20. The heavy gate can be opened by passers-by (the entrance is very busy), or you can use the bell to summon the staff of the adjacent reception.
