Overall Rating

Good

Reviewing the screening room (G.04), commonly used for community film screenings, there is a wheelchair accessible level access entrance to the building. Entrance to the screening room includes two wide doors, and there is a gender neutral and wheelchair accessible toilet— all level access. The room itself has stadium seating, so wheelchair users typically sit in the front row, there are usually additional, moveable seats also in the front row. There is one ergonomic chair in the room. During building opening hours, there is a friendly receptionist who can help point you in the right direction.

Disabled Access In and Around

Average

Wheelchair accessible. Sign language rarely used but up to individual event hosts. Subtitles for films are also subject to the event hosts. As far as I understand, there is a hearing induction loop.

Parking & Transport

Average

There is parking next to the building which is reserved for the university staff, it is unclear if blue badge holders can park there. Blue badge holders can park at part of George square. Several bus stops are nearby.

Accessible Toilets

Average

It’s not immediately obvious where the toilet is. More, clearer signs would be good. Clean facilities.

Staff

Excellent

Friendly and helpful.
