Location
Sidgwick Site, near Raised Faculty Building.
Physical Access
- Main entrance has level access from raised section of Sidgwick Site, through heavy double doors. Platform lift for wheelchairs down to auditorium level.
- Alternative entrance from fire door next to car park, with level access to stage and ramp down to auditorium seating. Must be arranged in advance.
- Part-tiered, with level seating at front of hall, and six designated wheelchair spaces.
- Disabled toilet in foyer, but a large post in front and an awkward door make this rather difficult to use.
Visual Impairments
- Large windows, but lights are dimmed low during lectures and projections.
- Stairs are mostly marked and have continuous handrails.
Hearing Impairments
Induction loop installed. If you use a hearing aid, remind the speaker to use the microphone, as many do not.
Other Useful Information
A wheelchair lift has recently been installed to give access to a small dressing room downstairs. In practice, this is not used due to concerns with safety and evacuation.
