Description of the facility

Kosovel Hall is well accessible. The main entrance is located in a passage through the building and is clearly recognizable. The building layout allows good orientation for users, and the spaces have sufficiently large maneuvering areas. In front of the hall there are stairs and ramps, which do not allow independent use. The stairs and ramps are not contrast-marked. The hall has two designated spaces for wheelchair users. Access to the adapted toilet in the basement is provided via a stair lift. Lighting in the building is adequate, but the flooring materials in the lobby can cause glare. The hall is not equipped with a hearing loop.
Access to the summer amphitheater for outdoor events is arranged via the main entrance along an exterior path, which is not properly paved. The amphitheater allows wheelchair users to watch events, while access to the stage is only via stairs.
