rating: 1 star: click here for full venue overview 

Accessibility: This Venue is accessible through two entrances. 1) If the library is open, one can enter the main entrance, use a lift to go up the stairs, turn right and use the small elevator down to the basement. 2) Enter through the library parkade (access by parking down there or by taking street level LRT elevator south west of library). Go to P2 South entrance. Two long ramps lead to basement of library.

There are gendered washrooms with larger stalls and grab bars on the same floor as the Centenial room, however stall doors are only 28" wide, making it fail the bathroom accessibility test. Other washrooms may be able to be arranged.

The Centenial Room (as well as the theatre and Edmonton Room) are accessible, if chairs are set up properly (theatre seating still needs to be audited). Bike lock up, parking (paid, accessible) and public transportation (many buses and LRT) are all readily available.
