Architectural accessibility

The Silesian Culture Centre is located in a single historic building, which is situated at 1 Parkowa St. in Nakło Śląskie. The main entrance at the front of the building is accessible to people with disabilities through access to the interior directly from street level, with wide manually-opening doors and a ramp allowing wheelchair users to enter freely. The entire area of the building can be navigated unhindered by wide corridors without thresholds with light switches located at an accessible height: the corridors also have light boards (marking the escape route) and sound signals (informing of fire hazards). The building is equipped with an internal lift suitable for transporting people with disabilities from the reception and ground floor to the first floor. The lift has illuminated buttons at an accessible height and an alarm signal.

There are two disabled-accessible toilets in the building: the first, smaller one on the ground floor and the second on the first floor. Both toilets have additional handholds and free access to the washbasin. The toilet on the first floor additionally has an area adapted for mothers with small children (changing table). The building is equipped with CCTV and has a first aid kit. It is possible to enter the Centre with a guide dog, for which a place has been arranged at the main entrance.

The building has secure parking spaces, which are located in the park area, from where you can safely (limitation of car traffic by appropriate signage) walk to the Centre building. It is also possible to drive directly up to the main entrance and leave the car in the car park. The building has no parking spaces for people with disabilities. There are two bus stops in the immediate vicinity of the Centre, one of which has to be accessed via a road with traffic lights.

The Centre does not have facilities for the blind and deaf in the form of specialised tools, i.e. labeling of rooms in Braille, tiffographic plans or induction loop. There is no Polish Sign Language interpreter at the Centre, persons wishing to use the services of a Polish Sign Language (PJM) interpreter are requested to contact the secretariat in advance.

The Silesian Culture Centre pledges to help anyone who needs to access the offer more easily. In order to do so, for example, a ‘video guide’ has been prepared with subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired, with English subtitles and with translation into Polish Sign Language (PJM).
