Grinnell's Accessible Van
As of January 21, 2009, the College has a 2008 Grand Caravan that was converted to an accessible van by AMS Vans in Norcross, Georgia. During the academic year, the accessible van is housed at and used daily by the Student Health and Counseling Services staff to transport students to medical appointments in the city of Grinnell. The van is also used to transport a student with limited mobility 1) for any official college purpose such as a class or activity and 2) in instances where transportation is being offered to any student or where transportation is necessary for the mobility-impaired student in order to have full access to the class or activity.
