This is a modern building that has lots of space and light there are automatic doors if you enter via Coatbridge Main Street. There are two lifts that take you to any of the floors required including the car park in the basement area.

There is space to move about in a wheelchair on all floors and doors are wide enough to let you through.

Good
There are a number of Blue badge spaces in the basement area to access them you enter via South Circular Road and then Exchange Place and then a small slip road between the centre and the Asda store. You gain entry you press the button that then lets staff at the reception know you are there. Once in the car par area there are lifts to all floors. The parking in this area only for use when you are using the centre
Accessible Toilets
Good
The Accessible toilet is on the Ground floor but was out of order on the day of my visit. However having seen it before it is a good accessible toilet.

As the building contains a wide range of services there are a large number of staff doing different roles. However the staff I spoke to were very pleasant and Helpful.
