Leva Cafe & Bar

address:11053 86 AvenueEdmonton, 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.
 

Stanley A. Milner Library (Centenial Room)

address: 7 Sir Winston Churchill Square, Edmonton, AB
website: facility@epl.ca
 
venue type: Room
capacity: 60 (theatre style)
minors: Yes

AccessibilityThis 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.
