venue type: Room & Theatre

capacity: ?

minors: Yes

rating: 3 stars full venue overview not yet available 

Accessibility: The Jubilee auditorium offers a number of fully accessible venues including the main theatre, a banquet room, and a meeting room (NOTE: rehearsal room is NOT accessible). Theatre includes multiple levels of accessible seating & assisted listening devices. Banquet and Meeting rooms are in the basement and are accessed by stairs, escalator or elevator (route from elevator to basement rooms is circuitous, but well-signed if adjoining double doors are left open). Only one entrance to Banquet room is accessible. Signage on the inaccessible door may help to clarify this.

There are gendered washrooms on the main level and basement, each having accessible stalls that are built to code.

Venue is close to ample paid parking and is near University LRT and bus routes (hospital LRT stop is the closest). Bike lock up and accessible stalls are on the east of the building. The main entrance has curb cuts and push-button doors (30" clearance).

 The venue is extremely committed to accessibility, as demonstrated by the accessibility page on their website (click here).

 

Leva Cafe & Bar

address:11053 86 Avenue, Edmonton, AB

website: www.levabar.com

venue type: cafe

capacity: ?

minors: Yes

rating: 1 star (full audit not yet attached)

Accessibility: Leva is a very accessible, locally owned street-level cafe in the University area. They have curb cuts, light doorways, and the interior is set up quite accessibly.

Gender neutral washrooms are spacious, have grab bars, and are quite accesible except that doors open inwards. The result is that only the smallest, most mobile wheelchairs, will be able to use the washrooms with doors closed. (if this were remedied with a pocket door, this would easily be a three star venue).

There is limited short term free street parking and reserved accessible street parking nearby. Paid university parking, and university LRT and transit can also be used. There is a bike lock up directly in front.

Other Perks: This venue is locally owned, generously supports local artists and has delicious food with vegetarian and gluten-free options.
