Access:
- The studio is on the ground floor, but is not currently wheelchair accessible. It is accessed through three doorways. The first doorway is 84cm wide, and the other two are currently between 74-75cm wide. There is, however, indoor space directly outside of the studio room that can be set up as a working space for wheelchair users.
- There is an accessible ground floor gender neutral toilet with a baby-changing station, nappies and sanitary products. This is shared with Bike for Good, and currently cannot be accessed from the studio due to a narrow door and a 15cm step. Wheelchair users can access this toilet from the yard and through Bike for Good. There is currently a 4cm step at the toilet entrance.
- The studio is lit with white, bright, overhead strip lights with the option of softer lighting with lamps.
- The studio is full of things. It is a very visually stimulating environment, with lots of bright colours and things to look at.
- The studio chairs are plastic, with basic back support, no neck or arm support.
- Content warnings will be shared/communicated where necessary.
- The studio is a fairly damp environment, and is not scent free.
Studio Yard:
We have a large outdoor yard area that we use to work outside as much as possible. It has a sheltered area which provides cover for the rain with lights and power. We have growing beds, benches and tables, a small shed which can be used to host events in, gazebos and a pizza oven. We share this outdoor space with our neighbours Bike for Good and a group of freelance artists who have a studio space above Rumpus.
