Accessibility
Our policy is to provide and maintain a safe and healthy environment, accessible to all, regardless of any disability. Since October 1999 our aim has been to make improvements to the premises to ensure those who suffer from any disability (those with impairments to mobility, manual dexterity, physical co-ordination, speech, hearing, eyesight and memory) have no restrictions on the use of facilities within the club.
We continually review and update all our policies to remain compliant with current legislation and welcome any comments or suggestions from the users of the club.
Facilities
Cruz 101 provides the following facilities:
- Accessible toilet.
- Drink menus in formats recommended by the RNIB and the British Dyslexia Association.
- Accessible cloakroom facilities for wheelchair users.
- Accessible bar service.
Access Limitations
The building Cruz 101 is located in was built in 1869 and was an old cotton mill. It was refurbished from derelict in 1986 and we began our transformation of the basement and sub-basement floors in 1991. Because of the original structure of the building and the importance of your health and safety, there are limitations to the physical changes that can be made to the existing structure. Because of this, access through the main entrance into the club may be difficult for some wheelchair users to navigate.
There is a flight of nine steps into the main area of the club, so wheelchair users are required to be accompanied by a minimum of two assistants to help with access to and exit from the premises and for assistance in the case of an emergency evacuation.
