The Room - WAYI DJERRING
Located on Level 4. The venue and balcony are fully accessible. The bathrooms are located inside the venue and are exclusively for venue guests. The bathroom doors do not meet current standard requirements and at its narrowest point measures 72cm. One of the four stalls is designed for ambulant access, with a larger footprint and grab rails, and may be accessible for some wheelchair users. The closest accessible bathroom is on the Ground floor.
General Access
Visitors with mobility aids accessing the centre from Lonsdale street are advised to take the ramp on the western (left-hand side) of the building along Shilling Lane. This will direct them to the automated doors at the rear of QVWC. Visitors accessing the centre from the QV Courtyard, eg Artemis Lane, will find stairs connecting the QV Courtyard to the rear automated doors. Visitors with mobility aids are directed to use the platform lift, proximate to the QVWC SHOP, to access the rear automated doors.
Within QVWC, a passenger lift can be used to access all floors from ground up. The lift has a doorway of 90cm, an internal depth of 209cm and a maximum load of 1125kg. Where there are small steps or accessibility issues, platform lifts are installed or portable ramps are provisioned. Our basement, housing resident organisation GUCK, can only be accessed via stairs. However, alternate meeting rooms can be arranged on the ground floor for GUCK visitors facing accessibility issues.
