Helen Gordon Child Development Center Physical Access Notes
1609 SW Twelfth Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97201

The Child Development Center accepts children from 2 years of age and up to kindergarten age. Students, faculty and staff may apply to enroll their children in the Center. There is a waiting list, and employees of PSU should note that the rates charged to staff and faculty differ from those charged to students because student incidental fees partially support the Center.

The comments on this building are taken in part from the 1991 Access Guide published by the Students with Disabilities Union. We thank them for allowing us to copy their material for this guide. It should be noted that many remodels and improvements have occurred in PSU building in the years since the 1991 Guide. So many of these comments may be some what antiquated. Please bear with us as we update and refine this access tool for our campus. Please send us an e-mail on anything you note that requires correction.
