Building Mobility Accessibility:

The building is accessible via one of the two ramps on the Cordova Street Courtyard side. One ramp is located near the entrance to the Woodward’s Westbank Atrium, which houses London Drugs and Nesters Market (this ramp is across from JJ Bean Coffee). The other is located beside the Cambie Street alley. There are push buttons that can open accessible doors on both the Hastings and Cordova entrances. Please note that the street level entrance on Hastings Street will not be open.

Hearing Assist headsets:

Hearing Assist Headsets are available for events that take place in the Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema and in the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre. Let the GCAPES Head Front of House, Guest Services or one of the Ushers know that you would like to use one.

Borrowing a Hearing Assist Headset is free of charge, but requires 1 piece of photo ID as collateral, which will be returned when the headset is returned to an usher or the Head Front of House.

Parking:

There is no accessible parking near the venue. Public pay parking is available at Abbott and Hastings, 65 W Cordova, and Water Street. Street parking is also available.
