Accessibility
The buildings and dormitories on the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies are accessible (with limited exceptions) to individuals with differing abilities. The law building consists of several levels and does not have an elevator and therefore may be challenging for students with limited mobility. The classroom is wheel chair accessible. For students with differing abilities, room costs and other housing amenities will not differ from the accommodations described above. The Cave Hill Campus, and Barbados in general, may not be accessible in all circumstances. Any inquiries in this regards should be directed to the Director of International Legal Programs or the Program Co-Directors.

The air-conditioned classrooms are located in the Faculty of Law building, a modern facility that also houses the Law Library.
