Question 5

Bathrooms - Types of Bathrooms at AD Space

Accepted Answer

AD Space has a non-gendered accessible bathroom within the galllery space. It has a large tiled floor, a bright overhead  light, a sitting-height mirror and sink, sanitary bin, and an outward opening door with a twist lock action. The door has had the gas strut adjusted to make it lighter to swing open and closed and won't accidentally shut on you as you enter. There are no steps or incline between the gallery and the bathroom. Additional gendered, accessible and non-gendered bathrooms are located across our campus. Please refer to the UNSWADA Campus map for locations.

Question 6

Bathrooms - Bathrooms with Specialised Accessibility Equipment

Accepted Answer

There are currently no dedicated 'Adult Lift and Change' facilities on the UNSWADA Paddington campus. Want this to change? Use this site to not only find a toilet nearby that meets your needs, but also create change in the spaces you regularly use! https://changingplaces.org.au/find

Question 7

Mobility Aid Accessibility -

Accepted Answer

AD Space is fully Wheelchair/Mobility Aid accessible. Parking within the venue can be arranged for free. The route from the onsite parking is completely paved and is flat (minimal to no noticeable inclines or declines). There is one change in levels between the carpark and AD Space. A lift is always present and accessible to the public to facilitate this level change. The lift is approx. 2m x 4m and can comfortably fit motorised wheelchair and two other people. Please note that you will have to cross the length of the courtyard which is has minimal overhead cover and is exposed to weather. Transparency Note: I'm writing this as a non-wheelchair user so please let me know if I can improve this description!

Question 8

Sensory Accessibility -

Accepted Answer

AD Space is more than happy to adjust our exhibitions to suit the sensory requirements of its visitors wherever possible.  Music and ambient sound can be adjusted at any point throughout the exhibition by reaching out to one of our Gallery Minders or the AD Space Coordinator. In-ear earplugs are also available from the bar upon request during any exhibition opening.  House lighting can be adjusted and harsh lighting minimised.  During busy openings, if you need a quiet breakout space, the Student Lounge and courtyard are great to decompress in. Both of these spaces have seating, soft lighting, are generally quiet, cool, and have access to fresh drinking water and phone charging.

Question 9

Photosensitivity and Vision Involved Access -

Accepted Answer

AD Space has consistent bright warm LED lighting focused onto white walls. These house lights are reported so far to not cause a strobing effect that may trigger occular overstimulation.  AD Space Exhibitions frequently have artworks that involve moving lights, complex onscreen visuals, and loud experimental music/sound. If you are unsure about whether this may affect your visit, please reach out so we can make sure you are safe and cared for!  If you have low vision or experience blindness, please let us know what we can provide to make your experiences more enjoyable! Rory the AD Space Coordinator has experience with presenting Image Descriptions, trained by AccessibleArts.

Question 10

Assistance Animals -

Accepted Answer

AD Space welcomes all certified and in-training Assistance Animals! AD Space currently has a resident 'Assistance Dog in training' that regularly attends events alongside their handler (Rory). We are more than happy to make any necessary arrangements for your own unique Assistance Animal situation, no matter where you are in your journey.  Please note: all animals must be leashed during their time inside the gallery spaces regardless of their training status for the safety of the animal in a highly stimulating environment.  Here are some tips from Rory and their Assistance Dog Pepper about navigating AD Space with an extra four paws:  AD Space can get quite crowded inside during Exhibition Openings. Watch out for little toes around high heels!  AD Space is currently quite echoy and loud during exhibition openings. Be prepared with any hearing protection you may need for your furry companion.  AD Space often has experimental sound, performance, and sculptural art that you and your Assistance Animal probably didn't encounter in your PAT! If you are unsure about whether an exhibitions content is Animal friendly, please reach out.  AD Space has access to a large courtyard that is generally peaceful and great to use as a breakout space for Assistance Animals.
