Disabled Access

Main building & Melting Pot cafe:

There is reasonably level access via a new front door to the right of the existing stepped access main door.  The new doorway will soon be converted to a power assisted door and the current 50 mm step will be ramped. 

Once inside the building there is level access to Krowji main reception and to:

• Offices for ACT, Carn to Cove, Cornwall Music Forum, Cornwall Film Festival, Creative Skills and FEAST
• The Melting Pot cafe
• Meeting rooms W14, W15a & W15b at the rear of the cafe.
• Studios W13 and W26 - W30

There is a new accessible WC located outside the new reception office. There is no wheelchair access to the first floor (Studios W17 - 25).

Science Block:

There is level access to the Science Block studios via the front and rear doors, although these double doors currently have narrow single leaves (650 mm / 25.5 inches) and wheel chair users may need assistance in order to unbolt the second door.

There is a ramp down from the car park to the south door of the Science Block - this ramp is slightly steeper than the recommended gradient for wheelchair use.  Access to the north doors is across a more level parking area which has recently been repaved to improve the surface.  Both sets of Science Block external doors are usually locked during the day for security purposes so visitors may need to notify the person they are coming to see in advance.

Once inside, there is level access to studios W1 to W10.  There is an easy-entry WC which is only partially DDA compliant at present.

Miracle Theatre office and rehearsal space:

Miracle Theatre regret that these are currently inaccessible to wheelchair users.

Elliott Hut - woodwork studios:

We regret that this is currently inaccessible to wheelchair users, but we shall be installing an acess ramp in 2012.
