Sagarika Sundaram: Reservoir opening celebrations

Our accessible entrance is on Cookridge Street, with a lift (doors 100cm wide) bringing you onto the ground floor of the building.

There is an internal passenger lift (doors 72cm wide) to all floors of the building.

We produce audio guides with descriptions of the artworks in our exhibitions. Due to some exhibitions having many artworks, we can’t guarantee that there will be audio descriptions for all the works on display.

You can pick up a handheld audio player and headphones outside the sculpture galleries, or use your own device by scanning the QR codes next to the artworks.

There are induction loops at the welcome desk on the ground floor, library reception and in the seminar room.

There is a portable induction loop available for visitors to use in the galleries (please ask at the welcome desk).

Seating is always available in our shop and welcome area. You can also pick up a portable seat here to take with you in the galleries.

While we try to always include seating in our exhibition spaces, due to the changing nature of our exhibitions we cannot always guarantee this.

There is a quiet space available in a room off from The Studio on the second floor of the building. Please ask a member of staff if you would like to use this space at any time during your visit.

If you’d prefer a quieter, more relaxed visit, then we recommend visiting on a Tuesday between 10:00 and 12:00.

Occasionally we have school groups booked to visit then, so feel free to contact us beforehand to check if that is the case when you are planning to visit.

Outside the seminar room on the basement level we have three gender-neutral superloos (self-contained cubicles with a toilet and sink).

Additionally, there is one gender-neutral, accessible superloo, and one superloo with baby changing facilities.

The closest Changing Places toilet is located in Leeds City Museum, which is approximately a 350m walk from us over a mostly flat and pedestrianised route, with one pelican crossing. See here for Leeds City Museum opening times and contact details.

Guide dogs, hearing dogs and other badged assistance dogs are welcome in our galleries and at our events.

There is a small grassy area just outside the Institute, suitable for spending. The nearest larger green space is Park Square.

A water bowl for dogs is available, please ask a member of staff at the welcome desk who will fetch it for you.
