Disability Services plans to monitor closely whether the re-organization affects service delivery.

Disability Services facilities are improving to manage the increasing enrollments. In the summer of 1998, Disability Services acquired Corbin Hall 065 for use as a test accommodation center. Also, the Disability Services reception and records office. Brantly-Corbin Hall 032. was remodeled to increase floor space and create an accessible entrance. These facility improvements are interim steps. A permanent solution is planned with the construction of the Center for Student Success in'the Lodge. The Center will house several departments besides Disability Services. Disability Services anticipates significant improvements in services because the department is in close proximity to other vital student services. In fact, cooperative ventures are planned with these departments. For example, a learning center could be established to provide fee-for-service remedial assistance to students with and without disabilities.
