Information for People with Vision Impairments
We are located on the south side of Bourke St, on the right hand side if walking towards Russell Street. Our building is between a shoe shop (Hype) and a phone shop (Optus). There are two steps and a wheelchair accessible ramp (on the left side of the stairs) which lead to the building, and TGSI’s located at the top of each.
When coming up the steps, automatic doors to the building are directly in front of you. After walking through the doors, continue straight ahead for about 8 metres to the lifts. There are two lifts with a panel in between them, containing the lift call buttons. The lifts have brailled and raised tactile buttons on the right and left hand side as you enter them, and have audible announcements installed.
Proceed to level 9. When exiting the lifts, turn right and walk to the end, then turn right and proceed to the end of the corridor. There is an automatic door at the end. If this is locked, there is a doorbell on the wall to the right, before a door.
