It has been reported that the hills and narrow pathways leading to the campus residence buildings make it difficult for wheelchair users to comfortably reach them.
According to an article from the daily 49er, some students and faculty who use wheelchairs have decided not live on campus due to the limited wheelchair accessibility; the inconvenient struggle is enough to deter them from campus housing arrangements. The CSULB campus was established in 1949 and the most recent campus buildings were constructed about 30 years ago. At that time, the construction met the expected law guidelines and city requirements for disabled individuals.

According to Carol Roberts-Corb, director of housing and residence life at Cal State Long Beach, his goal is to make sure that matters are legally up to code and that everything is being handled ethically to meet all students needs. However, David Sanfilippo, director of disabled student services, said housing may not be completely aware of the situation for disabled students and faculty and there really is a problem there. It does not matter how many students complain, the point is that there is an issue.
