RESOURCES
While intellectual growth is the hallmark of a Villanova education, nurturing and developing the whole person is equally valued. Below are academic and co-curricular resources to support that growth.

INCLUSIVE BATHROOMS IN BARTLEY
Similar to the other buildings on Villanova’s campus, The Villanova School of Business (VSB) examined its physical structures to ensure that all members of the community experience a more inclusive environment. To do this, we constructed an accessible and inclusive restroom. The single stall, restroom is located on the third floor of Bartley Hall, across from room 3027. This restroom offers any member of the VSB and Villanova communities needing accommodation unrestricted access. Introducing this restroom is part of VSB ODEI’s effort to promote an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and respect for the needs of all members of our community. With this addition, VSB will be joining the other colleges and buildings across campus to offer increased accessibility (See the Inclusive Restrooms tab on this Resources Page), ensuring the physical and mental health of our entire community.
