The Peretz Centre

The Peretz Centre front entrance is wheelchair accessible directly off the sidewalk (paved entrance).

The standard double-door entrance is power-assisted (button located to the right of the doorway). The doors swing outwards.

The ground floor of the Peretz Centre is accessible from the sidewalk and by elevator from the parkade. The following spaces are located on the ground floor:

Washrooms are multi-stalled and gendered. Each washroom includes a wheelchair accessible stall. A baby changing station is located in the women's washroom.

A water fountain is located in the hallway leading to the bathroom.

The second floor of the Peretz Centre is accessible by stairs or elevator. Spaces include:

• The Ben & Gallia Chud Auditorium

Washrooms are multi-stalled and gendered. Each washroom includes a wheelchair accessible stall.

A single-occupancy, non-gendered washroom is located in the Green Room on this level (locked, access provided upon request). Unfortunately, there are stairs leading up to the washroom.

There is a coat room available, but we don't always use it! Please reach out to the office/event host to request opening the coat room.
