Culture Center Franc Bernik Domžale

Object description

The culture centre is very poorly accessible. The main entrance has stairs, so access for wheelchair users is arranged from the side entrance at the back of the building. The side entrance is accessed via an outside ramp and only provides access to the hall. There are no accessible areas for wheelchair users in the hall, so they are currently placed in front of the first row of seats. The other areas (bar, cash register, sanitary facilities) are only accessible via stairs that do not have contrasting visual markings and are also not sufficiently protected in some areas.
