Studio
The doors of the studio are not automatic but can be propped open. Both entrances to our studios are equipped with ramps (3% and 4% inclination). The main entrance is a double door that is 59” (150 cm) wide and is equipped with a panic bar. The second door is located at the end of the 3rd floor corridor and is 35.5” (90 cm) wide.
The main entrance is generally used to access the studio for our activities.
The studio is a large empty space with some movable furniture (a few tables, chairs, and stage stairs), allowing a clear path for people using mobility devices. The floor is covered with grass carpet at the main entrance and the rest of the studio has hardwood floors. A water fountain is available in the entryway, the taps are at a height of 29″ (75 cm). The performance and studio space is at floor level.
Risers are set up for some events. Front row seating is at floor level either directly on the ground with cushions, on benches or on chairs.
Changing room
The entrance to the changing room is accessible from the studio via a ramp, and from the corridor via the secondary entrance door. The doorstep of that entrance is not flush however. The width of the second door’s corridor is 42″ (107 cm) as it is also used as a storage area for folding chairs, cushions and a coat rack. The threshold of the changing room’s entrance door is raised 0.7″ (2 cm) with a restricted maneuvering space in front of the door of 39″ x 59″ (100 cm x 150 cm). The door is held open at all times by a stone placed on the ground. Coat hooks are at a height of 69″ (175 cm) but it is possible to put your personal belongings on one of the benches of the changing room as well. There is almost no natural light in the locker room and the light switches are at a height of 69″ (175 cm). There is a small mini-fridge on the floor available to artists, as well as a first aid kit.
Office
You will find Studio 303’s office (#305) just before the studio entrance. It is an open workspace for employees, and artists are always welcome to come in and ask questions and share their experience. The office is on floor level and is essentially made up of tables, chairs, a kitchenette with a fridge and a dining table located at the back of the office. There is a relatively small amount of maneuvering space in the office.

- Masks reduce the spread of viral illnesses.
- Our community includes immunosuppressed people who deserve protection.
- Masks help freelance artists stay healthy and able to work.
- Masks are always available on site.
Please consult our programming to see for which workshops masks are mandatory for all participants. Thank you for your care and understanding.
