BeWell, Together Fair – Accessibility Information

Overview

The BeWell, Together: Wellness, Community, and Belonging Fair is for all Stanford employees and faculty to enjoy. All Fair activities will take place on Koret Plaza, on the south side of the roundabout at the intersection of Galvez Street and Campus Drive. This triangular Plaza is close to the Arrillaga Alumni Center (across Galvez St, west of the Plaza) and the Stanford Visitor Center (across Campus Dr, just northeast of the Plaza), and adjacent to the Arrillaga Center for Sports and Recreation, on the south side of the Plaza. 

Vendor tables will line both sides of the curving, paved, step-free path (a continuation of Sam McDonald Mall) on the south side of the Plaza. Farmer’s market vendors and staff groups will be located on the southeast side of the Plaza, along Campus Drive. Raffle tables and bike tune-ups will be located on the west side of the Plaza, along Galvez St.  (See the list of vendors and exhibitors on the campus event page.)

There are curb ramps providing access to the Fair near all three corners of the Plaza.

Stanford Dining will provide lunches in the area near the southeast corner of the Plaza. Food will be within reach for wheelchair users, and there will be servers to assist you. Long lines are not expected, but volunteers will be available to assist anyone who may have difficulty standing for longer periods.

There will be vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free food options available, while supplies last.

Lunch tables and a picnic area will be located in a grassy, shaded area near the center of the Plaza toward the west side. Event staff are available to assist with identifying alternative seating as needed.

Event staff and volunteers, who will be wearing white BeWell vests or red vests, will be on hand throughout the event to assist attendees. Additional assistance will be available at the BeWell table near the north end of the line of vendor tables.

Activities

Anyone can participate in Fair activities, and the event site – including all vendor tables and booths – will be set up with accessibility in mind. 

There will be an interactive Zumba demonstration at approximately 12:45 p.m. The instructor will provide options for people with mobility issues to participate if they would like to, for example, while seated.
