Adventures in Neurodivergent Space - detailed accessibility

A ramp leads to the front entrance, but the door is not automatic. There is an approximately 5 cm threshold at the entrance with a sloped edge on the outside, though not on the inside when exiting the building. Indoors, all public thresholds have sloped edges. Some events take place on the patio at Iðnó. Ramps are available on both sides of the patio, and the patio can also be accessed through the main hall inside Iðnó. There is a low threshold at the exterior door.

An elevator provides access between the 1st and 2nd floors. The elevator is located to the left of the stairs leading to the second floor, near the entrance to the kitchen, and guests may operate it independently.

An accessible restroom is located on the 1st floor to the left of the entrance. It includes grab bars and a sink, but the space itself is fairly small, making access difficult for larger wheelchairs.

One designated accessible parking space is located on Tjarnargata by Tjarnarskóli. Another designated space, which also includes an EV charging station, is located at Kirkjutorg by Dómkirkjan í Reykjavík, and a third is located by Smiðja, the Alþingi office building, at the corner of Tjarnargata and Vonarstræti.

This is a low sensory stimulation event, so everybody is asked to speak softly, click instead of clapping, move gently, observe personal space, minimise eye contact, and not bring strong smells in or near the venue. Also not to smoke, gather or speak loudly close to the door.

Everyone will be given a communication badge showing whether they wish to communicate or not, and you should check someone's badge before speaking to them.

Stimming and otherwise being your neurodivergent self is always ok

• flashing lights 14.00-14.30;
• a gentle movement workshop in the upstairs space 14.30-15.00 with slow movement and soft speaking by a small group in the centre of the room (to which all are invited 😊)
• loud speaking (not shouting or screaming) 15.00-16.00.

This event will have sign language interpretation.

All events at the Hub are free of charge.
