WSW is a multi-building, two-story complex. It can be recognized by its brown wooden siding and large porch. There are two entrances to the main WSW building. One is up five stone steps with no handrail, then six porch steps with a handrail, and through the front door, which swings inward. The door to the right can be opened using the knob, while the other can be opened from the inside when necessary. The second entrance is around the right side and utilizes a ramp paved with stones with no steps. This door swings inward. Neither entrance is currently equipped with automatic doors. The papermaking studio, intaglio studio, common room, shared kitchen, and main floor restroom are wheelchair accessible. The silkscreen studio, administrative offices, reading room/archive, and select artist apartments are up a flight or more of stairs. Staff will connect with residents before arrival to determine individual accommodation needs.
