Our Centre is located within the Business Design Centre which has worked closely with disabled action groups and the local authority to ensure this listed building is as user-friendly as possible for those with disabilities and is committed to making ongoing improvements.
Staff
The building has a dedicated access officer who has particular responsibility for liasing between visitors with disabilities and staff to see that as far as possible safe and easy access to the building is ensured and acceptable. In addition, all our key front-of-house staff have been trained to guide the visually impaired and assist those in wheelchairs.
Access
There is ramped access to the building from street level and clear signage around the building advising the best entrance routes. We also have a well-lit, on-site car park, which has clearly indicated disabled parking spaces, and a lift to street level.
Facilities
Once inside the building, there are a limited number of wheelchairs available free of charge. There is also an induction loop for the hearing impaired, to help with exhibition announcements in communal areas and in the auditorium for conferences. Disabled toilets can be found on every level, which are accessible via the lift in the main foyer on the ground floor.
Evacuation
In the event of an emergency there is a tailored evacuation process in place for our disabled Delegates. If you have any questions regarding the above information please contact our concierge Ray Alcock, on 0207 288 6475, or raya@businessdesigncentre.co.uk
