ACCESSIBILITY /




Main Space Gallery /


Our main entrance is wheelchair accessible and has no steps to enter. Our front entrance door is not automatic. Our bathroom in the main space is wheelchair accessible, has grab bars by the toilet and has a changing station. Our bathroom is gender neutral and uses unscented soap. All door handles within the center can be operated with a closed fist. We don’t use salt on our walkways, though some of our neighbors do. We welcome service animals! The walkway in front of the building is slanted at the northern end, and has a ramp going upwards on the south end of our block.

Resource Center /


The New Gallery Resource Center is located directly above The New Gallery Main Space. The entrance door is not automatic, and the vestibule leading to the stairs is tight (38 inches from the door to the first stair). There are 22 narrow stairs that lead into the Resource Center. The bathroom is gender-neutral, and multi-stall, but does not have a wheelchair-accessible stall. All door handles within the center can be operated with a closed fist. Some of our neighbours smoke cigarettes indoors, and the smell permeates into the Resource Center. We do allow service animals and pets to join us upstairs! We typically don’t play ambient music in the space. Occasionally, you can hear our neighbours playing music and singing, and you can hear Center Street traffic.
