(From the 2007-2008 Information and Procedures Guide) The athletics department staff is acutely aware of the special needs of individuals with disabilities in the New York University community. These needs have been kept in mind in the design and construction of the Coles Sports and Recreation Center and the Palladium Athletic Facility, resulting in barrier-free recreational facilities. Doors and areas throughout the centers are of ample size to allow wheelchair access, and elevators service all the main levels of both centers. Braille markings, contrasting color paint, and continuous stairwell railings have been included for those with visual impairments. Stairs, railings, and a hydraulic chairlift make pool access easier for persons with disabilities.

In addition to unstructured general recreational use of the centers, individuals may find instruction and supervision in a number of sports and fitness courses.

Constance Baker Motley

A civil rights activist, lawyer, state senator, and judge, Constance Baker Motley received an A.B. in economics from NYU in 1943. After receiving a law degree from Columbia University, Motley worked under the tutelage of Thurgood Marshall, chief counsel of the NAACP's Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., and eventually became associate chief counsel for the association. She aided in several key civil rights cases, including Brown v. Board of Education. In the early 1960s Motley continued her fight for equality, arguing ten civil rights cases on the floor of the U.S. Supreme Court. She won nine. In 1964, she left the NAACP to become the first African-American woman state senator in New York. She served in this capacity until the winter of 1965, when the New York City Council elected her the first woman to serve as President of the Borough of Manhattan. The following year, President Lyndon Johnson nominated Motley for a Federal District Court judgeship for the Southern District of New York. Confirmed in August of 1966, Motley became the first African-American woman named to the federal bench.
