Access Notes:
Getting Here:
The address is 1300 Gerrard St E, Toronto, ON M4L 1Y7
The nearest intersection is Greenwood and Gerrard.
The building is accessible by bus from Greenwood station, as well as the 506 College/Gerrard streetcar.
There is street parking available as well as bike lockups in the surrounding neighbourhood.
It can be hard to stop on Gerrard street directly, so for easier dropoffs, we suggest turning onto Redwood Ave (a one way street going North) and getting dropped off next to the building.
The building is accessible by bus from Greenwood station, as well as the 506 College/Gerrard streetcar. Greenwood station is only barrier free at the street level and is not accessible by subway. The nearest accessible subway is Coxwell Station.
The Building:
The entrance to the building is off the sidewalk, a set of double doors, that open manually (no push button).
There is no lip on the door. There is a moderately steep ramp from the entrance into the mainspace.It goes up from the street level, and then back down into the main space, at a grade that is not to code and has no railings. Wheelchair users may need physical assistance to go up this ramp. The mainspace is level. The floors are a mix of concrete and wooden dance floor.
The space is lit with dimmable overhead track lighting, with minimal windows. There are sound panels against the walls to reduce ambient noise.
It has air conditioning and an updated H-Vac system for air filtration.
Washrooms:
There is a single-user non-gendered washroom on the mainspace floor.
The washroom has enough space for a manual wheelchair, but would be too small for a powerchair user to turn around comfortably. There is no automatic door opener there is a grab bar, but the placement isn’t great. Handles to the bathroom door were knobs not levers. The faucet may pose access barriers to folks with limited mobility as it needs sustained pressure to function.
